Vetala (Baital Pachisi)

==Summary==
The legendary king Vikramāditya promises a tantric sorcerer that he will capture a vetala, a celestial spirit Pishacha, (analogous to a vampire in Western literature) who hangs upside-down from a tree and inhabits and animates dead bodies.
Little had he known this vetala was an extremely clever and tricky spirit, who had put the King in a paradoxical predicament, always telling a story that ends with a riddle. If Vikrama cannot answer the question correctly, the spirit consents to remain in captivity. If the king knows the answer but still keeps quiet, then his head shall burst into thousand pieces. And if King Vikrama answers the question correctly, the spirit would escape and return to his tree. However, as Vikrama knows the answer to every question; therefore the cycle of catching and releasing the spirit continues.
