But if he does speak out, he would break the vow of silence and Betaal would fly back to the treetop, leaving the king inches short of his destination! The king would go after the vampire and start all over again. Enroute, the spirit of Betaal (in the corpse) used to narrate a story to the king and after completing the story Betaal would pose a query that if he (The king) knew the answer, was bound to respond lest he will break his head into thousand pieces. According to the legend the King Vikramaditya, in order to fulfil a vow, was required to remove a corpse of betaal from a treetop and carry it on his shoulder to another place in silence. He would have to fetch it for the mendicant, as the mendicant was seeking certain occult powers which he would get only if a king brought this particular corpse to him and if he would practice certain rites sitting on it.
There would be a corpse hanging from one of its branches. King Vikramaditya had to visit the northern-most corner of this ground where he would find a very ancient tree. The mendicant tells that there is a task that only a King like Vikrmaditya can perform. King asked mendicant why he was doing this. However, the mendicant had set a condition that the King must meet him under a Banyan tree in the center of the cremation ground beyond the city, at night, on the 14th day of the dark half of the month. He ordered to check all the fruits, and from all fruits a fine ruby.
One day while handling the fruit broke and pop came out a handy ball of ruby. King Vikramaditya used to hand over the fruit to the royal storekeeper. Among such visitors was a mendicant who presented the king with a fruit on every visit. King used to accept all the gifts with same courtesy. Everyday many visitors used to visit the king and gift him something. He was brave, fearless and with a strong will. He had immense love for learning as well as for adventure.
