King Vikramaditya was carrying the corpse back when Baital spoke. He said to King Vikramaditya, “I will tell you a story again to pass the time.” So, Baital told a story—“There was a kingdom called Punyapur which was ruled by King Virbhadra. He had a loyal minister whose name was Satyamani. One day, Satyamani came to the King and requested, “Sir, I want to go on a pilgrimage. I have come to ask for your consent and blessings.” King Virbhadra willingly gave permission to Satyamani to go on the journey. So, a happy Satyamani went on the pilgrimage. He visited the temple of Lord Shiva which was near the seashore. After coming out of the temple, Satyamani watched the sea and the tides rising from it. He enjoyed the view so much that he made up his mind to spend his night on the shore. During midnight, he saw an extraordinary spectacle.
