Meanwhile, astrologers told that his son would die of snake bite on the fourth day of marriage, the king also told this to his daughter-in-law. Both were worried by this prediction but the daughter-in-law was wise, on the fourth day she got all the gold of the palace kept at the main gate and did not let her husband sleep and herself woke up and started singing.
At the same time, Yamraj came at the appointed time and reached the main gate in the guise of a snake, his eyes were dazzled by the gleam of gold, he could not even find a way to enter the palace. Meanwhile, listening to the song of the bride, he forgot everything and in the meantime the time of the death of the prince passed. Due to this he had to return empty handed, since then people started buying gold on this day for good luck. PLC/GT
