Widower story
King Dhananjaya of Kuru district, whose capital was Indraprastha, was considered the most powerful king of the earth. There was a very wise minister named Vidhur in his kingdom whose stories of conscience were heard everywhere.

In those days, three more extremely powerful kings, who were contemporaries of King Dhananjaya, were named Sakka, Varuna and Venetayya, who were the kings of the Devas, Nagas and Supanna-Yakshas (Golden-Garuda) respectively.

Once, on some occasion, the four kings gathered in a garden where a dispute arose about who among them was the most lovable. When the dispute started escalating, all four agreed to call the widower and seek his opinion. Then the widower told those kings that they were all equally piety, just like the saws (arrows) of the chariots of a chariot. The four kings were very pleased with the opinion of the widower and gave him many prizes.

That night, while Nagraj Varun was resting in his bedroom, his queen found his necklace lost. When he asked for the reason, when he came to know that the king had given his beloved necklace to the widower as he pleased with his wisdom, he sought the widow's heart as a gift from the king and pretended to be idolized when the stubbornness was not fulfilled.

One day Punakaraja, the commander of the Sudan Yakshas, ​​was flying over Naglok. Just then, his eyes fell on the serpent-princess Erndati, who was seen singing and swinging in a beautiful swing. On seeing the extraordinary beauty of Erandati, Punakaraj immediately came down and requested Erandati for her love at that very moment. Erandati was also no less impressed by Punak's personality. He accepted her love at that moment.

Punak then reached Nagaraja Varuna. There he asked for Erandati's hand. The unpleasantness of the serpent and the Garuda was very old. But Garuda used to be heavy on serpents. In addition, the king did not want to break his daughter's heart either; Neither did he want to give the hand of a serpent-daughter to any Garuda, and hate all the people. So, after taking some time from Puneka, he consulted his minister in seclusion. The serpent-minister was the widow of Kuduraj's minister, Vidhur. He was jealous of the widower's reputation. Therefore, he advised the king that he would give Punak to Erandati's hand when he brought the heart of the widower and gave it to the empress queen. With this tactic, the queen will also become healthy and the subjects will also see a healthy queen.

When Punak heard Nagaraj's condition, he immediately flew to Indraprastha, the capital of the Kuru country. He knew the weakness of Kururaj Dhananjaya. He knew that Kuraraj was a great gambler. So the king reached to Dhananjaya. He challenged him to gamble and kept his flying horse at stake and his gem which could show all the things of the world. King Dhananjaya was also ready to gamble and he also wanted to stake many of his gems. But Punaka then told him that if the gem was to be staked, he would have to apply the most precious gem of his kingdom to the widower. The game started. Dhananjay lost and Punak won.

Punak then flew to the widow and reached the Kaal mountain. There he attacked the widower with a sword. But Punakka's sword broke as soon as he touched the widower. The amazed Punak then wanted to free the widower.

The widower rejected the liberation conferred by Punak at that moment because he wanted to go to Nag-Lok with Punak and help him. He also postponed Punak to answer the question he asked.

When Punak and Vidhur reached Nag-Lok, they received a grand welcome. The widower delighted King Varuna and Queen Vimala with sermons and discussion. After this Punaka and Erandati were married with great pomp and show.

After marriage, Punak took the widow with respect to Indraprastha and gifted her a gem which could be seen from any object in the world.
