Next Morning king Bhoj again went to
sit on King Vikramaditya’s throne when Twenty Ninth Female Statu Manawati
stopped him She began a story---
One evening King Vikramaditya was
roaming around the river bank he heard a loud cry for help,He looked around,he
saw two people were drowning in the river,King Vikramaditya quickly dived into
the river and saved them,brought them to the shore.
When King Vikramaditya asked them
about the accident the man said,”We were travelling in a boat with our
family,Suddenly the boat overturned in the water,and all our family members
were drowned.Only two of us are survived .We live in Saranga Kingdom.I am
Devkant and she is my sister Devkanta.”king Vikramaditya said,I promise to do
arrangements for your back home journey but just now you are my guests.”Then he
brought both of them to the palace.When they arrived to the palace then they
could know that they are guests of King Vikramaditya.They began to live in the
palace.Devkanta was beautiful,her brother wanted her to get married with King
Vikramaditya.
He went to king Vikramaditya and
said,”Your Majesty I am worried about my sister’s marriage.”King Vikramaditya
said,”Don’t worry Devkanta is like a sister to me.I am also worried about her
marriage.If there is any suitable groom let me know”said the King.
Devkant felt very sorry for his
thought and apologised for that by telling the truth.He then said,”Your Majesty
! Once Prince of Udaygiri proposed to get married with Devkanta.At that time
our financial condition was good so we refused.”
King asked the Royal Priest to go to Udaygiri with marriage proposal and lots of wealth and valuables.But he returned back soon and said he was robbed by four thieves.

King Vikramaditya was amazed to hear
about presence of robbers in his Kingdom,so he decided to catch the
robbers.Next day he again sent the Royal Priest under protection of some
soldiers.
That evening King Vikramaditya
reached the place where the Royal Priest was robbed,in ordinary man’s getup.He
saw four people were talking to each other.He requested them to include him in
their gang,they thought,he is King’s spy and refused.
King Vikramaditya said,”Friends don’t
get scared,I am a thief,and I know you all are thieves,I just wanted to learn
some new techniques of robbery.”
One of them said,”We don’t include
strangers in our gang.We all have different specialities ,what is yours ?
King Vikramaditya said,”First you
tell me about your specialities,The first thief said,The second thief said” I
calculate the right time to rob,I can understand the speech of birds and
animals.”Third said,”I have quality to be invisible during robbery”The forth
said,”I have a special machine,when I tie it on my body I don’t feel pain”.
They took The King at sword point and
he had to give them many valuable things,but when they were running,soldiers
caught them.
They were brought in front of King
Vikramaditya,King said,You all are geniuses,but promise me ,you all will stop
doing thefts robberies and all bad deeds.”They all promised,King included them
in his army.Next day Royal Priest came back with good news that Devkanta’s
marriage was fixed with the Prince of Udaygiri.
Female statue Manawati asked,” Do you
have such qualities like King Vikramaditya ? Raja Bhoj moved back.
