One day, Vasudev asked his wife to cook Kheer (rice and milk preparation). When she had prepared the Kheer, Vasudev asked her to give some to Bhadraavat. So, Vasudev’s wife put some Kheer in a bowl. She gave the bowl to Bhadraavat. Now, Bhadraavat did not eat the Kheer there and then. He went to the garden of the house and sat under a tree. He kept the bowl by his side. Then he again started weeping in memory of Lilawati. After a while, he fell asleep. The Kheer bowl was still there. Suddenly, a poisonous snake, which lived in the tree hole, came out of its hole. It saw the Kheer bowl. It came near the Kheer bowl and spat some of its venom in the bowl. Then it went back into its hole. After a while, Bhadraavat woke up. He was feeling hungry, so he ate the poisoned Kheer.
