JAIN RAMAYAN
Kanakodari moved heaven and earth to stain the character of Queen Lakshmiyati but all her attempts were in vain. Though Kanakodari made countless attempts to disgrace Queen Lakshmivati, her radiant name and honour remained unstained in the hearts of people. In fact, day by day, the number of devotees thronging her palace kept increasing. Kanakodari's animosity against Queen Lakshmivati grew intense. She made several villainous plans to destroy Queen Lakshmivati's popularity. She thought carefully about it and then a plan occurred to her.
She sent for her maid Sulekha. Even she despised Lakshmivati. Therefore she used to help and assist Kanakodari in causing some disgrace or humiliation to Queen Lakshmivati. Actually, Kanakodari was the only support for Sulekha for everything.
“Sulekha ! I have thought of a plan”, Kanakodari whispered something into the ears of Sulekha.
"What is it ?”
"On what does all the fame and popularity of Queen Lakshmivati depend ?"
"I do not know”.
"Oh, you stupid creature ! Don't you know this ? All this is the result of her having that image of the Bhagwan. If that
image is removed from there ......" . “Well, well ! .... An excellent plan. Now, you need not worry about it. I will see that it is done. I will take care of everything".
“No! That is not what you should do. I will do it myself, yes, what you have to do is something different”.
“Tell me what it is ?”
"Somehow you must skilfully manage to bring that image here".
