Once upon a time, there lived a king called Shatrujit. He was a very
valorous king. He used to perform many yagnas because of which the
Devraj or Indra was very pleased with him.
After some period of time, two male snakes from Nagaloka, who were
born to Ashwatar, the Naga, descended down to the Earth to have a
tour of the Earth. They disguised themselves as Brahmanas.
The father Ashwatar replied, praising Shatrujit for giving birth to such
a noble child, he stated, there are so many examples of people who
are having knowledge of all shastras, but do not have truly noble
qualities. I am very pleased to know about him and would therefore
like to reward him with gifts from my end such as Jewellery and
diamonds or anything else to make him happy. You can take them
without any hesitation and give to Shatrujit.
On hearing this, (the children) male snakes replied, they have far
more superior ornaments than what we have in our Pataala Loka.
They grant boons to all those who come to visit them and they
provide answers to any type of difficult questions put forward to them
with their intellectual faculty, but yes, they do have one thing to be
done, but there is a doubt in this regard, as only the Brahma, the
Vishnu, and Shiva can address this issue.
The story goes further, and the children reply to their father.
