STORY NO.1

Once upon a time, there lived a famous king known as Nirugan. He was a good king who contains the features like generosity, purity and righteousness. Once he went to the banks of the holy Pushkar River, and gave several cows as donation to the Brahmin scholars, and at the time of giving donation, accidently he has donated a cow which belonged to a poor Brahmin. Since he has donated large number of cows, he was unable to recognise his mistake.

In course of time, the poor Brahmin was able to find his cow, which was tied in another Brahmin’s house. When he claimed the cow to be his own, the other Brahmin didn’t accept it, and hence they went to the King Nirugan’s palace and they were waiting there for a long time. Since they were unable to see the king, both of them cursed the king to transform in the form of a chameleon and then they donated the cow to another poor Brahmin and after that, they went to their respective places.

Since Nirugan was cursed by the Brahmins, he has transformed into a chameleon and he began to live in a hole. After living in the hole for a long time, finally, his curse was relieved during the previous Dwapara Yuga, when Lord Krishna has gently touched and lifted him from the pit.
