Shri Shatrunjay Giriraj Darshan
Premla became a perfect 'Shravika'. The Muni told her that she will get her husband back after 16 years. A 'yogini' also informed her that stepmother Viramati has transformed Chandraraj into a cock. mothers virambackastenneformars.com vagant ains
In Aabhapuri, Viramati controls the reins of the kingdom. For the welfare and safety of Chandraraj (cock), Gunavali, in full consent with the minister, gifts the cock to a performer (Nat). The team of performers reached Vimalapuri in due course of time. Visiting the king's court, and reporting that they come from Aabhapuri, Premla gets interested in details. The secret is revealed and Premla is allowed to keep the cock. Now the king realises that Premla was right about the fraudulent marriage.
Premla visits Pundarikgiri with the cock. The cock jumps in Suryakund in sheer depression. The thread around his neck breaks and he gains back his original form of Chandraraj. Premala and Chandraraj worship 'Dada' on Siddhachal and start an enjoyable life. Chandraraj remembers Gunavali and writes to her. Viramati comes to know and proceeds to kill Chandraraj wherein she herself gets killed.
Chandraraj and Premla return to Aabhapuri, meet Gunavali and live happily. They got prince Gunshekhar and Manishekhar. At the time of Samavasaran of Shri Munisuvrat Swami, they receive knowledge of their previous lives. Chandraraj gets 'Diksha' along with his wives and eventually they all attain 'Moksha'.
