MAHABAL MALAYASUNDARI Around that time an astrologer came to the court.
The king called his police chiefThe king told him everything and asked his advise. The astrologer consulted his chart and said
Tell me the truth.
Did you kill Sire ! Malaya is
Malaya or not? indeed in trouble but she is alive. You will find her
after a year.

The chief replied trembling
Disguised as a yogi, Mahabal also went in search of Malaya and wandered in the jungle. One day he arrived in a city called Tilakpur. He heard an announcement in the city
Sire ! Please forgive me. I was
confident that the princess was innocent. She is faultless like mother Sita and pure like the Ganges.
I left her alive in the jungle.
A poisonous snake has bitten the queen. If some expert of voodoo or medicine brings her back to life, the king will reward him with
whatever he desires.
I know the treatment of snake bite. Why not
do a good deed by curing the queen. Let me help a suffering
woman.
King Soorpal at once called his guards and sent them to the jungle in search of Malayasundari.
