However, year after year eleven male children were born to him and his queen in the hope of a daughter. When the twelfth male child was born, the king asked his wise-men, what went wrong? Why the princess has not taken birth as yet? All of them advised the king to marry again and assured him that he will get a daughter from his second wife.
The king married again, but again he had 12 male children with his second queen. King became agitated and thought that his wise men are deceiving him and so he decided to kill them. After killing all the wise-men, seven wise-women came to his land with seven gifts from a far country. They told the king that the princess has taken birth in the land of Ulom and they saw her from afar. After knowing about the birth of the princess who wasn’t his daughter, the king was angry, confused, and disturbed. He asked those seven wise-women to bring the princess to him as soon as they find her. At the behest of the king, seven wise-women left the land of Ulom with seven gifts to find the princess but never returned. When the king realized wise-women had gone back to their land and will never return, he became furious and gave the order to kill all the newborn girl babies in the kingdom. A poor family, where the princess was actually born got distressed. To save the princess, her parents threw her into the river. There, she was saved by the shark that raised her in the ocean.
