There was a king called Devashakti who was very frustrated on his son, who was very lean and weak. He grew leaner and weaker every day. Well-known physicians from far off places could not cure him, because there was a snake inside his stomach. They tried all sorts of treatments, but in vain. The young prince was also frustrated to see his father sad for him, and he was fed-up with his life. One night, he crept outside the palace and went to another kingdom. He started living in a temple, and ate from whatever alms he collected from kind people. This new country was ruled by a king, who had two young daughters. They were raised with the best of learning. Every morning they would bow at their father's feet to seek his blessings. One of the daughters said, "O Father, all joys of the world is bestowed upon us, with your blessings", and the other daughter would say, "O King, one only gets the fruits that are destined for one's actions!". The comments of the second daughter made the king very angry and one day, he summoned his ministers, "Let her enjoy the fruits that are destined for her actions! Take her and marry her off to anybody you meet outside the palace." The ministers did so, and were unable to find anybody when they saw the young prince who was living in the temple. The two were married.
