raja ne chidhakar kaha: do lakh rupaye do. divan chup rah gaya. rupaye de diye. rupaye lekar badhee chalata bana, par chalate chalate kah gaya ki is gho de mean ai d lagana ko da mat marana.
ek din raja ne us par savari ki. par vah badhee ki bat bhool gaya. aur usane gho de par ko da jama diya. ko da lagana tha ki gho da hava se batean karane laga aur samudr par le jakar use jangal mean ek pe d par gira diya. ludhakata hua raja niche gira murda jaisa ho gaya. sanbhalane par utha aur chalate-chalate ek aise bih d van mean pahuancha ki nikalana mushkil ho gaya. jaise-taise vah vahaan se nikala. das din mean sat kos chalakar vah aise ghane jangal mean pahuancha, jahaan hath tak nahian soojhata tha. charoan taraph sher-chite daha date the. raja ghabaraya. use rasta nahian soojhata tha. akhir pandrah din bhatakane ke bad ek aisi jagah pahuancha jahaan ek makan tha. aur usake bahar ek ooancha pe d aur do kuean the. pe d par ek bandariyaan thi. vah kabhi niche ati to kabhi oopar chadhati.
raja pe d par chadh gaya aur chhipakar sab hal dekhane laga. dopahar hone par ek yati vahaan aya. usane baee taraph ke kuean se ek chulloo pani liya aur us bandariya par chhi dak diya. vah turant ek b di hi sundar stri ban gee. yati paharabhar usake sath raha, phir doosare kuean se pani khianchakar us par dala ki vah phir bandariya ban gee. vah pe d par ja chadhi aur yati gupha mean chala gaya.

raja bola: mera nam vikramadity hai. mera koee kuchh nahian biga d sakata hai.
raja ka nam sunate vah unake charanoan mean gir p di boli, "he maharaj! tum abhi yahaan se chale jao, nahian to yati ayaga aur ham donoan ko shap dekar bhasm kar dega."
raja ne poochha:' tum kaun ho aur is yati ke hath kaise p dian?
vah boli: mera bap kamadev aur maan pushpavati haian. jab maian barah baras ki huee to mere maan-bap ne mujhe ek kam karane ko kaha. maianne use nahian kiya. is par unhoanne gussa hokar mujhe is yati ko de dala. vah mujhe yahaan le aya. aur bandariyaan banakar rakha hai. sach hai, bhagy ke likhe ko koee nahian mita sakata.
raja ne kaha: maian tumhean sath le chalooanga. itana kahakar usane doosare kuean ka, pani chhi dakakar use phir bandariya bana diya.
agale din vah yati aya. jab usane bandariya ko stri bana liya to vah boli, "mujhe kuchh prasad do."
yati ne ek kamal ka phool diya aur kaha: yah kabhi kumhalayaga nahian aur roj ek lal dega. ise sanbhalakar rakhana.
yati ke jane par raja ne bandariya ko stri bana liya. phir apane viroan ko bulaya. ve aye aur takht par bithakar un donoan ko le chale. jab ve shahar ke pas aye to dekhate kya hai ki ek b da sundar l daka khel raha hai. raja stri ko sath lekar apane mahal mean a gaye.
agale din kamal mean ek lal nikala. is tarah har din nikalate-nikalate bahut se lal ikatthe ho gaye. ek din l dake ka bap unhean bazar mean bechane gaya. to kotaval ne use pak d liya. raja ke pas le gaya. l dake ke bap ne raja ko sab hal thik-thik kah sunaya. sunakar raja ko kotaval par b da gussa aya aur usane hukm diya ki vah use bekasoor adami ko ek lakh rupaya de.
i़tana kahakar putali boli: he rajanh! jo vikramadity jaisa dani aur nyayi ho, vahi is sianhasan par baith sakata hai.
raja jhuanjhalakar chup rah gaya. agale din vah pakka karake sihaansan ki taraph badha ki madhumalati nam ki navian putali ne usaka rasta rok liya.
