King Vikramaditya had to visit the northernmost corner of this ground where he would find a very ancient tree.
The mendicant tells that there is a task that only a King like Vikrmaditya can perform. The King asked the mendicant why he was doing this. However, the mendicant had set a condition that the King must meet him under a Banyan tree in the center of the cremation ground beyond the city, at night, on the 14th day of the dark half of the month. He ordered to check all the fruits, and from all fruits came out a fine ruby. One day while handling the fruit, it broke and from the pop came out a handy ball of a ruby. King Vikramaditya used to hand over the fruit to the royal storekeeper. Among such visitors was a mendicant who presented the king with fruit on every visit. The King used to accept all the gifts with the same courtesy. Every day many visitors used to visit the king and gift him something. He was brave, fearless, and with a strong will. He had immense love for learning as well as for adventure. Vikramaditya was a great king who ruled over a prosperous kingdom from his capital at Ujjain. These are spellbinding stories told to the wise King Vikramaditya by the witty ghost Betaal. Vikram Aur Betaal is based on ‘ Betaal Pachisi‘, written in the 11th century by Kashmiri poet Somdev Bhatt. 3.26 Vikram Aur Betaal Episode 26 – “The Revenge of Nagin “ Summary of Vikram Aur Betaal
