The King Vikramaditya agreed to Betal's condition. Betal said further, "Vikramaditya, I've heard a lot about your wisdom and bravery. I expect you to resolve the hidden riddle in my story. If at the end of the story you knowingly avoid the answers to my questions just to remain quiet, your head will be split into pieces."
"I'll try to solve the puzzle to the best of my ability," promised the king.
"I would like to believe you," said Betal and began narrating his tale.
