Vikram Bethal Stories continues…

Inside the Kali temple, Bhatti discovered an ancient inscription carved into a stone. After his visit, returning to their kingdom, he shared the discovery with Vikramarka and outlined a detailed plan. Together, they set out on a journey back to the sacred Kali temple.

Once there, Vikramarka carefully followed the instructions in the order. He joined the seven branches of a massive tree into one powerful blow of his sword. Surprisingly, he at once jumped reversely on the central platform in the pond, but in a reversed position he reached the temple.

Suddenly, a radiant light in the temple, and Bhadra Kali the goddess appeared before Vikramarka. He praised her, and she was pleased with his sincerity, granting him a remarkable blessing. Bhadra Kali said Vikramarka would rule the kingdom for fifty-one consecutive times without facing any opposition, and he would achieve his desires with ease.

With divine guidance, Vikramarka and Bhatti imagined an extraordinary city surrounding the temple. Putting their plan into action, they speedily constructed the magnificent “Ujjaini Mahakali City” on all four sides of the temple. The city soon became renowned for its high pillars, statues, and good houses.

With the grace of Kali, Vikramarka ascended to the throne and ruled his kingdom with wisdom and devotion. The people prospered under his reign, and all four sections of people, Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas, and Sudras, lived cheerfully without any poverty or need. Agriculture and business flourished, thanks to timely rains, making the land wealthy and growing. As the days passed, the kingdom was in prosperity and happiness.
