Then the scholars said that in the previous birth, that girl was Mercuri, which was killed by the hunter. The hunter left the dead monkey hanging on a banyan tree because the meat of the monkey is inedible. Due to air and sun, it dried up in the stove of Lohargal Dham, but one of his hands remained on the tree. As the rest of the body falls into holy water, you have come here as a girl. The scholars said to the king, If you go there and put that hand in holy water then the disabilities of this child will end. The king immediately came to Lohargal and put the hand of the barren in the watercourse from the branch of that banyan tree. By which his daughter’s hand was automatically cured.
