The prospect of a windfall gain allured the king at once and he came to the spot As he was about to dig it, a voice was heard from under the ground saying' Oh king ! This is not meant for thee So desist It's all marked for King Vikramaditya of Ujjain' The matter ended there King Vikram Singha returned to his own city, and out of compassion for prince Kuruvaka, he sanctioned for him a suitable pension for his support
Long, long thereafter, Amvada's treasures and throne were unearthed by Vikramaditya, the great king of Ujjain, who not only started an era after his own name, but became a legendary hero all over India His name is rememberd to this day with great respect and admiration
