About this episode

The story revolves around King Viradeva, who believes that looking at his face every morning brings him good fortune, but one day he skips this routine and faces unexpected consequences.

वीरदेवः इति कश्चन दानशीलः राजा । प्रतिदिनं सः उषसि उत्थाय दर्पणे मुखं‌ पश्यति, ततः विहारार्थम् उद्यानं गच्छति च । एवं करणात् सौभाग्यं सिद्ध्येत् इति तस्य चिन्तनम् । अथ एकदा सः स्वमुखम् अदृष्ट्वा एव उद्यानं गतः । ततः किं भवति इति कथायाः विषयः वर्तते । (“केन्द्रीयसंस्कृतविश्वविद्यालयस्य अष्टादशीयोजनान्तर्गततया एतासां कथानां ध्वनिप्रक्षेपणं क्रियते”) Viradeva was a generous king. Every morning he looked at his face in the mirror and then went to the garden, believing this routine would bring him good fortune. One day, however, he went to the garden without looking at his face. What happened next is the subject of the story.
