A happy Virbhadra arrived in his kingdom along with the maiden. When Satyamani heard that the King had married the maiden, he committed suicide.” Baital ended his story and asked, “Tell me Vikram why Satyamani committed suicide. Answer in all fairness or I will break your head into pieces.” King Vikramaditya replied, “Satyamani died due to his own fault. He fell in love with the maiden but if he wished to marry the maiden, he should not have told the King about the tree. He ought to have known that the King was unattached and would surely fall in love with the stunning maiden.” Baital exclaimed, “Absolutely right! But as you have spoken, I have no option but to leave you and return to my dwelling in the peepal tree.” Saying this, Baital flew away with King Vikramaditya chasing him once again.
