Vikram Bethal stories-ClimbingThrone
Published December 5, 2023

The next day, when Bhoja tried to sit on the throne the third idol, stopped him and told more stories. Thirty-one idols shared many stories about Bhoja Raja and challenged him if he was worthy of the Vikramarka throne. Bhoja couldn’t answer the challenges. Every story praised Vikramarka’s greatness.

On the thirty-second day, a wise idol named Jnanaprakashavalli told the final part of Vikramarka’s rule. It went like this:

Once Vikramarka fought a king named Salivahana, who defeated his army. Then Bhatti, Vikramarka’s brother, said, “Raja, our thousand-year journey is coming to an end. Tomorrow we will die.”

Vikramarka understood and took the throne given by Indra to a place called Ujjani. There, he dug a pit placed the throne covered it with soil to keep it safe.

After that, they reached the Kali temple. Vikramarka told Bhatti, “Bhatti, in the future, a king named Bhoja Raja will find this throne and rule for a year. Then the throne will go back to Indraloka.”

Then Vikramarka released the spirit, Bethal, from a curse given by Lord Shiva. Bethal turned back into a Brahmin and said goodbye, returning to his village.

 Bhatti wanted to die before Vikramarka died. He stopped his breath by himself. Later Vikramarka died.

Many years later, the Ujjani Empire was buried under clay and sand. A Brahmin found the land and started growing crops there. Later, King Bhoja acquired that land and discovered Vikramarka’s throne.

When the thirty-second idol finished the story, it told Bhoja Raja, “You are a divine King, and Vikramarka himself declared you fit to rule. Tomorrow, you will sit on this throne and rule for a year, as it was destined. Then the throne will go back to Indraloka.”

Bhoja Raja felt happy and worshipped the throne with devotion. With pandits chanting, he sat on the throne and ruled wisely for a year. After that, the throne returned to the heavens.

Blessed by Kai’s guidance, Bhoja ruled his kingdom with courage and kindness, treating his people like his own children. Under his wise rule, the kingdom flourished for many years, leaving a remarkable legacy in history.
