The king of Manipura already promised that he would give half
of his kingdom and also his daughter to the person
who would save her life with the help of the magical pomegranate fruit.
Let us see what had happened later.
Subodhi saved the princess from incurable disease
with the help of magical pomegranates.
Though the king of Manipura announced that he would give half
of his kingdom and his daughter, he didn't keep up his promise.
He told Subuddhi he should go to the huge eagle called Gandaberunda
and ask to give whereabouts of the key of his treasury since it had
the power of giving information about the lost objects.
He had to finish the task before getting married with his daughter.
So Subuddhi was going
He had to cross a huge river
There was a one-eyed demon
Whose duty was carrying the people to the other shore
You are going to meet Gandabherunda, right?
You please ask the bird
When will I be relieved from this duty of carrying people?
Asked the demon
It took Subuddhi to the other shore
There he found an old lady
He asked her the Gandabherunda's whereabouts
It showed the cave of the bird.
Be careful, the bird eats all human beings, cautioned the lady.
The lady accompanied Subuddhi to save his life.
After reaching the place of the eagle,
she requested the bird to leave him.
She offered the bird a lot of food,
but its hunger was not satisfied, so wanted to eat him.
Okay, if your hunger is not satisfied, you can eat him.
But before eating, the boy had some doubts.
You are so powerful. Answer those questions.
The lady asked the eagle.
Okay, that I can do.
What are his doubts? asked the bird.
She whispered into Subuddhi's ears to hide
and listen to the bird's answer.
His first question is, where is the key of the king's treasury?
The key was buried in the western side
of king's treasury, two yards away.
Gandabherunda answered.
Okay, his second question is
When will the one-eyed demon
relieve from carrying people?
If he drops the person
Whom she carries amidst the river
It will be relieved from the duty
Answered the eagle
Subuddhi heard their conversation
And when the eagle turned to the other side
He escaped without being noticed
Thus he reached the banks of the river
He met the same demon at the river
It asked
Did you ask the eagle when I will be relieved?
Yes, I asked
First leave me at my place, then I will tell, said Subuddhi
He reached the other bank
and conveyed the same message given by the eagle and left to the palace
He told the king about the key
His men found the key exactly at the same spot as was said by the eagle
The king wanted to see the eagle and reached the bank
The demon, while carrying the king,
dropped him amidst the river, thus relieved from its duty.
Thus Subuddhi completed his task successfully
and got half of the kingdom and married the princess.
The king, as he did not keep up his promise,
he was punished by God in the form of the demon.
