There was a Kaikaya Desh (Kaikeyee was from there) where, at one time, Raajaa Satyaketu used to rule. He had two sons: Prataapbhaanu and Arimardan. When the time came Satyaketu handed over the kingdom to his elder son Prataapbhaanu and went to forest. Prataapbhaanu and his chief minister Dharmruchi were very good rulers. He won all the seven Dweep (islands) and did many Yagya and offered them to Vaasudev.

Once he went for preying. He saw a wild pig, he followed it, it took him very far. Once he aimed at it, but it disappeared and he lost it. Raajaa got thirsty and got unconscious. After he came to his senses he wandered around in search of water and found an Aashram.

There in that Aashram lived a king who was defeated by Prataapbhaanu before once, in the guise of a Muni. When Prataapbhaanu arrived there, that king recognized him but Prataapbhaanu could not recognize him. He took him as a great Muni.

Muni showed him a pond to take bath and drink water. Later Muni asked - "Who are you and why are you wandering in this dense forest like this? You look like a Chakravartee Raajaa, I feel pity on you." Raajaa thought to hide his identity, so he said - "I am the chief minister of Raajaa Prataapbhaanu, I forgot the way, so I came out this side. But it is good that I had your Darshan." Muni said - "It is getting late now, your city is 70 Yojan far from here. Now you sleep here. you go tomorrow to your city." 

So the king tied his horse under a tree, and took rest there. They talked for a while. Raajaa asked Muni his name etc. Muni said - "I am a beggar and live here in this Kutee for quite a time. Nobody knows me. My name is Ektanu as since I am born I have not died. I know your name too. Your name is Prataapbhaanu. You can ask me anything you wish for." Raajaa touched his feet and said - "I am very glad to see you. But I want that I should not get old, I should not die, I should not be defeated by anybody, I rule the whole Prithvi for hundred Kalp."

Muni said - "Do not worry, even Kaal will bow you but Braahman. Braahman have a lot of Tap power, so if you can control Braahman, you can control even Brahmaa, Vishnu and Mahesh too." Raajaa got very happy to hear this. Muni further said - "Nobody should know this conversation between us, because if Braahman give Shaap, you will be destroyed." Now the king asked - "I don't see any other who can tell me the way to control Braahman so you tell me the way to control them."

Muni got very happy to hear this, he said - "I will certainly do good to you. But you have to keep this secret to yourself only. If I cook food in your kitchen, and you yourself feed it to Braahman they will certainly be under your control. And not only those ones to whom you will feed but even those ones too who will eat at their places. In the Yagya too whoever Devtaa will come to take their share, they will also be under your control. Thus with a little trouble your all worries will be over."

Raajaa asked, "But how it will happen?" Muni said - "I will replace your cook and cook the food in your kitchen. It is getting late now, so you sleep. You will see me on the third day from today. I will call you in a lonely place and tell you this story, then you will recognize me. I will send you to your palace through my Yog Power in your sleep."

Raajaa was very tired, so he slept immediately. Muni called Kaalketu Asur and asked him to take him to his palace. So he did promptly and brought king's Purohit. Nobody knew this in palace. In fact he was fast friend of Muni and brought Raajaa up to this far in the form of the wild pig. He was very cunning. He had 100 sons and 10 brothers who were all like him. The king also defeated him once so he joined the Muni and planned for this event.

King waited for the day. The third day he came in disguise of his cook and expressed his desire to talk to Raajaa in a lonely place. Raajaa immediately understood and recognized him. He got very happy. He had already invited 100,000 good Braahman families. The cook cooked many kinds of meat dishes in which he mixed Braahman's meat also.

Braahman came to eat food, Raajaa himself offered them food. Braahman were just going to start taking food, that Aakaasvaanee (celestial voice) said - "Do not take this food, go to your houses, this food is unholy because it contains Braahman's meat." Hearing this king got very surprise and sad, and Braahman got up from their seats and gave Shaap to Raajaa - "Go and become Asur along with your family. Only Bhagvaan protected us. You will be destroyed in the middle of the year, and nobody will remain alive in your family."

The then another Aakaashvaanee again said - "Braahman, you have not given this Shaap to Raajaa after proper consideration. He is not at fault at all." The king went to look for that cook, but the cook was not there. King came back and told the whole story. Braahman said - "Our Shaap cannot go lie." And all Braahman went to their homes. Later many kings attacked him and won him. His whole family got destroyed.

So when Vidhaataa goes wrong, everything goes wrong,  a dust particle becomes a mountain, a father becomes like Yam and a rope becomes a snake. The same king became Raavan. His brother was born as Kumbhkarn and his minister Dharmruchi became Vibheeshan. Although all were born in Maharshi Pulastya family still Raavan and Kumbhkarn were a great Raakshas because of Braahman's Shaap.

The three brothers did a hard Tap and got Var. Raavan got the Var not to be won by Devtaa, Daanav, Asur and Gandharv. Kumbhkarn was confused by Saraswatee Jee so he asked only sleep, and Vibheeshan asked the love towards Bhagvaan's feet. Raavan started troubling everybody, so one day Prithvi went to Naraayan. Naaraayan assured her to relive her from this trouble by taking birth in Dashrath's house.
