2) PUSHPACHULA PURIFIED HERSELF BY CONFESSION

Pushpachul & Pushpachula grew up and couldn't live without each other. The king thought that if I marry daughter Pushpachula then the twins will be separated. As such he called the meeting of his subjects & asked them, “If any precious stone
comes into existence on my land then, where should it be related?” The people replied that you have the authority to relate the precious stones produced on your land. Thus, the king declared, “I am relating both my precious stones i.e. my son & daughter by a nuptial knot.” Thus, the king deceitfully married his son & daughter with each other. Pushpavati became very much distressed seeing such
