to get good victims for her evil designs. Hence raising her sword in the air, she asked them to enjoy sexual life with her. She also threatened to kill them if they declined. Being afraid of her, they agreed to obey and carry out her wish. Then they lived happily with her.
One day, Indra, the Lord of the Gods ordered Ratna to clear all the refuge round about the island. Then she asked both the brothers to move in the eastern garden but told them not to visit the southern one as it was inhabited by a poisonous snake.
Ratna, then, disappeared and the two men were curious to visit the prohibited part. As they approached it, they found foul smell coming from dead bodies. As they proceeded further, they saw a gallows, on which a man was hanging, crying and weeping.
The two brothers asked him the cause of his trouble. So he said, "I am a citizen of the city of Kakandi situated in Bharatkshetra. I am a merchant trading in horses. I was shipwrecked and came floating here. The witch of this place took me to her palace and enjoyed herself with me. As soon as she got you two brothers as her source of enjoyment, she hanged me on the gallows. Perhaps, you will also meet with the same fate that I have."
Then the man told them to get out of trouble. A Yaksha (demi- god) lived in the eastern garden. He would rescue them if they prayed for help. They did as advised. The Yaksha assumed the form of a horse and flying in the sky, took them to their city of Champapuri.
