The very next day the servant is sweeping the king’s room. He starts murmuring on seeing the king in his sleep. He says, “It is so much fun for this merchant Dantil to misbehave with the queen. Hearing this, the king wakes up and asks the servant, “Is this really true? Have you seen the merchant Dantil misbehaving?” The servant immediately grabs the king’s feet and says, “I’m sorry, I couldn’t sleep last night. I was murmuring something because of my lack of sleep.” Hearing this, the king does not say anything to the servant, but doubts arise in his mind.

Hearing this story from Damanak, Sanjeevak said, “Okay. Is. I will do whatever you say.”

Then Damanaka took him with him and came to Pinglak. He said, “Your Majesty, I have brought Sanjeevak.”

Sanjeevak also greeted Pingalak and sat down

. Putting his right hand on the ox, he asked, “Where have you come from in this forest? Are you living well here?”

Sanjeevak narrated his entire story to him.

Pinglak heard his story and told him that you should be fearless and roam in this forest protected by me. After this Pingalak handed over the administration of his forest to the new ministers Kartak and Damanaka and himself lived happily with Sanjeevaka.

Within a few days, Sanjeevak, with the influence of his intellect, got rid of the violent habits of wild Pingalak and engaged him in rural religion. Pinglak also started taking interest in his words. His instinct for violence ended. He no longer allowed deer and other animals to come near him. He also kept Kartak and Damanak at a distance.

The result was that the small animals that fed their stomachs with the food left over from the lion’s hunt became distraught with hunger. Kartak, Damanaka and other animals started worrying about this situation. They began to think that when the snake wrapped around Lord Shankar’s neck wants to swallow the rat, the vehicle of Ganesha, when the peacock of Kartikeya wants to eat the snake of Shankarji, when the peacock, which kills the snake, also eats the lion, the vehicle of Parvati. then why this drama of non-violence?

Damanak said to Kartak, ‘Oh brother, now there is such a close friendship between Pingalak and Sanjeevak that Pingalak has turned away from us. Many of our friends also ran away. We should explain to the king. It is the duty of the minister to explain to the king at the right time.

Kartak said, “You are the one who started this fire. You have made this grass-grazing animal a friend of our master.”

Damanak said, “It is true. The fault is mine, not Pinglak’s. But as I had made their friendship, in the same way I will also break their friendship.

Kartak said, “But Sanjeevak is a very intelligent animal even though he is a bull. On the other hand, Singh Pingalak is also terrible. It is true that your intellect is sharp, yet how will you be able to separate these two now?’

Damanaka said, “Brother! I am capable even though I am unable. The work which cannot be accomplished by might, even a clever person can accomplish it with tact. Like the crow had killed the venomous black snake with the help of a gold thread!”

Karataka asked, “How did that happen?’

Damanak started saying-
