Next day King Bhoj went to sit on
King Vikramaditya’s throne while Twenty Eighth Female Statue Vaidehi started
telling the story---
One day king Vikramaditya called all
the scholars and astrologers in his kingdom.He said to them “Last night I saw
an unusual dream.He saw that I was roaming around a big palace.It was very huge
and very beautiful.Its walls were decorated by precious stones.And a very
beautiful garden was around the palace.There were lots of beautiful flowers in
that garden.I could feel the fragrance of flowers ,I was inside the palace.
I saw a man in deep meditation,I went
close to him,I was shocked to see he was just like me,the man looked at me,then
I came out of my dream.I want to know what is the meaning of my dream.
After many calculations Astrologers
said,” Your Majesty !We have calculated your dream,the palace does not exist on
earth.It is a Palace in heaven and it is Lord Indra’s Palace.A very sacred
man,all the time remembers GOD,can visit his palace,and he has to do to good
deeds on his way to heaven.
Next day Vikramaditya with Royal
Priest started his journey.They were in ordinary person’s getup.One night they had to take
shelter in a house.Late night they heard crying,King Vikramaditya went there an
old lady was weeping.King Vikramaditya asked,” Why are you weeping ? She said,”
My only son has gone to the forest to cut firewood ,but has not returned
yet,neighbours denied to help me finding him.”
King Vikramaditya said,”Don’t worry I
will go and bring your son back.When he reached to the forest,he saw a boy
sitting on a tree,he was scared of a lion like monster,King Vikramaditya
quickly drove away the monster and brought back the boy to his mother.The old
lady blessed the king.
King Vikramaditya continued the
journey,and reached a beach.He saw people loading goods on a ship,at the same
time he saw a young woman was weeping there.King Vikramaditya asked,”Why are
you weeping ? she said,” My husband works on a ship,to day he is going on a
long voyage,I had a dream last night that the ship drowned in the sea.We have
been married just three months ago,I am pregnant ,if some thing happen to my
husband,who will take care of me and my child.So I don’t want him to go,but he
is not listening to me.
After listening her problem,King
Vikramaditya took out the conch given by Lord Varun,he gave it to the lady,and
said.”Give it to your husband,whenever he finds himself in trouble just blow
this conch and the problem will be solved.” King Vikramaditya showed her
practically how to blow and immediately high ways calmed down.
King Vikramaditya and the Priest now
continued their journey.Suddenly they saw a white horse came down from heaven,a
divine voice was heard,”King Vikramaditya you have done two good deeds,I am
pleased with you.This horse will take you to Indra Lok.
O’Lord how can I come alone,my Royal
Priest is with me I can’t leave him.
Royal Priest said,” Your Majesty !
Don’t worry about me,I would like to go there only after death,I will go back
to Ujjayani.”
King Vikramaditya rode the horse to
Indra Lok.Lord Indra welcomed him,and invited him to sit on his throne.King
Vikramaditya said,”O Lord What are you saying ?How can I sit on your throne ?
Lord Indra said,” I was just testing
you.You are eligible for this palace.The Person you saw in your dream was none
other but me.then Lord Indra put his own crown on King Vikramaditya’s head.
After spending some days King
Vikramaditya returned back to Ujjayani .
The Female statue Vaidehi asked,”King
Bhoj ! Lord Indra ever invited you to sit on his own throne ? Raja Bhoj moved
back.
