Om Ganeshay Namah
Mahamantri - Maharaj, the time is not good. There are so many problems in Kashi. Anytime anu untoward icident may happen.
Another person - I also think so. Ever since Kashyap's son has come here, not a single day goes without demons causing troubles.
Kashi naresh - The result is known to you. Mahotkat's intelligence and might have saved us from many demons. Narantak has troubled us a lot. We have to give him a large part of our revenue as tax.
Mahotkat - If Kashi's problems will be solved on my going away from here, then I am ready to go. I only need permission from Kashi naresh.
Kashi naresh - No, you please do not go now. You should go only after completing the marriage ceremony of my son.
Mahotkat - I assure all of you that if any demon comes here, then he will not go back alive. I suggest that you should stop giving money to Narantak. I will take care of the rest.
Mahamantri - As you wish, maharaj. But I suggest that you postpone prince's marriage by one month.
All ministers agree.
Kashi naresh - I accept the suggestion of ministers.
Mahotkat - Kashi naresh, what will I do here for one month? Let me go back to my parents. I will come back at the time of marriage.
Kashi naresh - No purohit ji, you please stay in Kashi till prince gets married. It is only because we have faith in you that I have decided to stop giving money to Narantak. It is only because of your strength that we are capable of opposing the demons.
Mahotkat - As you wish, Kashi naresh.
Devantak is worried over the deaths of so many demons.
Devantak - Mahamantri, what is going on? Whichever demons went to Kashi, they did not come back. Kashi naresh has stopped giving us money.
Mahamantri - Maharaj, I am myself worried. I think that Kashi naresh has got encouragement from that boy to stop giving us money. It is really strange maharaj that normally people see that boy as Kashyap's son Mahotkat but while killing our demons, he looks Ganesh himself.
Narantak - Arrange the army. I will myself go to Kashi and cause destructions. Make a separate army of the demons who are experts in magical powers. Let them cause destructions in Kashi.
Mahamantri - As you wish, maharaj.
Kashi naresh expresses his gratitude to Mahotkat.
Mahotkat - Kashi naresh, it was my duty. You are now witnessing the lull before storm. Narantak is not going to stay quiet. He will attack again. This time either we will lose everything or the demons will be killed.
Kashi naresh - You are the youngest of us all. But your intelligence is unique. Please suggest what to do.
Mahotkat - Ask your soldiers to keep practicing for war. Ask your commanders to make proper arrangement of army.
A messenger - Maharaj, somebody wants to meet you. He looks like an astrologer.
Kashi naresh - I am busy in an important meeting but it is my duty to honour guests. Bring him in with full honour. (To Mahotkat)Please forgive me. I need to meet the guest.
Mahotkat - No problem, maharaj. Meet your guest. Meanwhile, I will rest in the guest room.
That astrologer comes.
Astrologer - I have come from Gandharv-lok. I know past,present,future. I have come to know that there are so many troubles going on in your kingdom. I have come here to warn you and to suggest you the solutions to your problems. Astrology says that we should not tell bitter truth to the people who are not ready to listen to it.
Kashi naresh - Please tell the truth without hesitation.
Astrologer - A boy has come here. All problems are because of that. If he continues to live here, then you may even lose your kingdom.
Kashi naresh - I doubt what you are saying. That boy has saved us from so many demons.
Astrologer - King, often evil things look good at the start.
Kashi naresh - Your words make me suspect you and even your knowledge of astrology.
Astrologer - King, what is obvious does not require any proof. Call that boy here. I will describe his reality in front of everybody.
On getting orders from the king, Mahamantri brings Mahotkat.
Kashi naresh - Kashyap nandan, I beg your forgiveness. This astrologer wanted to meet you.
Mahotkat - Tell me astrologer, what you want to say?
Astrologer - I want to read your future.
Mahotkat - Before you predict my future, first tell something about your future.
Astrologer - Maharaj, I already said that this boy of twisted brain will invite troubles wherever he goes.
Mahotkat - You called me. Then why are you telling the result of astrology to Kashi naresh? Let me also benefit from your knowledge.
Astrologer - Arrogant kid, your life is only for four days more. You will die either by falling in a well or in sea. Or may be you will die by being crushed beneath rocks of a mountain.
Mahotkat laughs.
Mahotkat - You are great. Somebody should learn from you how to frighten people in the name of astrology.
Astrologer - I am not frightening you but showing you your future. You have made fun of me. It is my prediction that Kalpurush will eat you.
Mahotkat laughs again.
Astrologer - If I want, I can burn you with my yogic power.
Mahotkat - I do not know when your prediction will come true and when your yogic power will come of use. But I will not only tell but show your future so that people know the reality of fake astrologers like you.
Astrologer sees Mahotkat as Sri Ganesh. Mahotkat raises his hand and the astrologer starts screaming in pain. He falls down dead. Everybody sees that he was really a demon.
All darbaris- Hail to Kashyap's son Mahotkat. Hail to rajpurohit Mahotkat.
