EMPEROR VIKRAMADITYA
The king thought
The yogi is, indeed, > amazing. If I get the golden-man I will be able to remove all problems of my
people.
The yogi said
Sire ! On the fourteenth night of this dark half of the month, please put on a clean dress and stand
outside the palace. My black horse will come on the gate and take you to the right spot. Beware, no one should accompany
you otherwise the ritual could fail.
Sire ! No one on this earth is as brave as you. With your help I will succeed in my mission.
The king promised to help the yogi.
Explaining thus the yogi left.
In the evening while the king was strolling on the roof top, Agni Vetaal appeared.
Sire ! Why did you promise to help the yogi ? He is very cunning and guileful.
In this ritual a perfect man with thirty two virtues has to be
sacrificed.

What harm can he do to me ?
Oh ! That is why he invites me?
