“Then, who was guilty? Was it Dharam Datta?” asked Baital. King Vikramaditya replied, “No, the girl’s parents were guilty. They handed her over to the Brahmin for the whole night without thinking of the consequences. They must be punished.” Baital said, “You are right, Vikram but the king punished the Brahmin and he was hanged. The girl was considered innocent. The King asked her husband to accept her, but he refused to accept her. So, he employed her as his Queen’s maid. But you have broken your promise of silence again. So, I have to leave you again.” Before King Vikramaditya could respond, Baital managed to escape out of his grip and flew away straight to his peepal tree. King Vikramaditya drew his sword and ran after Baital at a tremendous speed to catch him once again.
