Summary

This episode presents the third story from the Baital Paichisi collection, featuring King Rupson of Bardwan who hires warrior Burbar for an extraordinary daily wage of a thousand tollas of gold. Rather than living lavishly, Burbar gives most of the gold away to holy people, pilgrims, and the poor, while faithfully serving as the king's night guard. When the royal glory appears as a weeping woman warning of the king's doom, she demands a sacrifice at the temple of Devi to save him. Burbar and his entire family willingly offer their lives for their king's safety. Moved by this ultimate devotion, King Rupson intervenes, and the goddess Devi restores the family while rewarding Burbar with half the kingdom. The episode concludes with the sprite's riddle asking King Vikram to identify who showed the greatest virtue among the five characters, with Vikram correctly identifying the king as most virtuous for valuing righteousness over his own survival.
