Download or read book Tales of King Vikram and Betaal the Vampire written by Vikrama VIKRAMARK and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-29 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories of TALES OF KING VIKRAM AND BETAAL THE VAMPIRE is anicon of Indian storey telling, a brain teaser. Although there are 32 stories 25are covered in Betal Panchisi. I will be sharing with you shortly, some of thestories that are available with me. I am sure, after some time my colleaguewill definitely let me know the stories which I could not lay hand and help mein endeavoring my efforts.A very famous account of human and vetal interaction is chronicled in theBetaal pachisi ('Twenty Five Tales Of The Vampire) which consist of twentyfive tales chronicling the adventures of King Vikramaditya and how his witswere pitted against a vetal a sorcerer had asked him to capture for him.Vetals have great wisdom and insight into the human soul in addition to beingable to see into the past and future and are thus very valuable acquisitions towise men.This particular vetal inhabited a tree in a crematorium/graveyard and the onlyway it could be captured was by standing still and completely silent in themiddle of the graveyard/crematorium. However, every single time the kingtried this vetal would tempt him with a story that ended in a question theanswering of which King Vikramaditya could not resist. As a result the vetalwould re-inhabit the tree and the king was left to try again.Only after relating twenty five tales does the vetal allow the king to bear himback to the sorcerer, hence the name Betaal pachisi.The vetal informs the king of the treacherous sorcerers' true intentions. Thesorcerer means to trick Vikramaditya, possessor of thirty two virtues, andsacrifice him to a Goddess which would give him control over the vetal and hiskind.The vetal advises the king to ask the sorcerer how to pay his respects to theGoddess (which the sorcerer would ask him to do and use this opportunity tosacrifice him) and behead him while he is distracted. On following the vetal'sadvice the king is blessed and granted a boon by Lord Indra. The king wishes2the sorcerer to come back to life and wishes that henceforth he would havethe help and advice of the vetal whenever he needed it.The Betaal Pansihi was originally written in Sanskrit and is said to be theinspiration for the Arabian Nights and subsequent collections of fantasticmythological tales.
