King Vikramaditya reached the peepal tree. He pulled down the corpse and put it on his shoulder. Then he started walking. On the way, Baital said to King Vikramaditya, “I really admire you. You have a lot of courage and perseverance. I will tell you a story. After listening to the story, answer my questions. If you do not, I will smash your head into pieces.” Then Baital started telling the story— “In a kingdom called Vardhaman, there ruled a king named Roopsen. He had a very brave and loyal chief called Rajeshwar. One day, a man named Birbal approached him. He was seeking employment. He claimed that he had great mastery in the use of weapons. He showed his skills to Rajeshwar. In turn, Rajeshwar was very impressed by Birbal. So, he took Birbal to the palace of King Roopsen.
