Just at that time, a merchant by the name of Sadhu sailed by with his boat filled with merchandise. He saw the king performing the worship, and as he reached the shore, approached him and asked, "O Mighty King! Kindly tell me in detail the worship you are performing with such devotion and concentration. I too don't have any children. I will surely perform this worship and fulfill my desire. After this, the merchant completed his business, reached his hometown, and informed his wife Leelavati about the Satyanarayana Puja, which would fulfill their wish of having children.

He pledged to perform the worship after the birth of the child. Through divine grace, Leelavati conceived and in due course gave birth to a daughter named Kalvati. One day, Leelavati reminded her husband, "You pledged that you would perform the Satyanarayana Puja once we have children.

Why are you still not performing the worship even after our wish has been fulfilled? I will perform the worship during our daughter's marriage," and with that he left the city on business. In the meantime, Kalavati blossomed into a lovely maiden and Sadhu sent a messenger in search of a suitable groom. The messenger found a good-natured, handsome, and able boy in a merchant family from Kanchana Nagar.

Sadhu found the boy as a suitable match for Kalavati. He celebrated his daughter's marriage with great pomp and ceremony. Engrossed in the festivities, he forgot to perform Satyanarayana Puja. This angered Lord Satyanarayana. One day, Sadhu went on a business trip along with his son-in-law to the seaside town of Ratnapura. Later, they went to the city of King Chandraketu.

Seeing that Sadhu had completely forgotten his promise, Lord Satyanarayana placed a curse on Sadhu, saying "Let him be afflicted with great sorrows and hardships. The royal soldiers were in pursuit of the thieves, and when they arrived they mistook Sadhu and his son-in-law for the criminals, chained them and brought them to the king's assembly.

The soldiers said, "We have brought the thieves along with their loot. Please punish them accordingly. Due to the illusion created by Lord Satyanarayana, no one paid heed to the ardent appeals of the two merchants.

King Chandraketu confiscated all their merchandise. Because of the Lord's curse, Leelavati and Kalavati were also afflicted with sorrows. Their house was robbed and their mental distress increased. Leelavati became ill, and because they had no money to buy food, they had to begin to go begging.

One day, Kalavati arrived at a Brahmin's home to beg for food. Observing the Satyanarayana Puja being performed, she watched the worship and prayed to the Lord, ate the Prasad, and left for home. When she arrived home, her mother asked her why she was late. Kalavati replied, "Mother! I saw the Satyanarayana Puja being performed at the Brahmin's house. I listened to the story and had the Prasad.

Leelavati called friends and relatives and performed the Satyanarayana Puja along with them. She prayed, "Lord, Please forgive all of our sins. Please let my husband and son-in-law come home soon. Lord Satyanarayana was pleased with Leelavati's worship.

He appeared to King Chandraketu that night in a dream and told him, "Release the two merchants. Give them back their wealth. If not, you will lose your kingdom, sons and wealth.

The king told the assembly the next morning about his dream and ordered the release of the two merchants. The soldiers brought the Sadhu and his son-in-law to the assembly. The merchants bowed to the king, but hesitated to speak, remembering their earlier ordeal when nobody would listen to them.

The King then said, "The Gods being against you, you had to face great difficulties, but don't be afraid anymore. He told them to go home in peace. Chapter Four Sage Soota continued his tale. They gave gifts to Brahmins and then headed for home. After they traveled for some distance by sea, intending to test them further, Lord Satyanarayana appeared in the guise of an ascetic and questioned Sadhu. Why do you need to know what merchandise we have in our boat? Are you planning to steal our wealth?

There is nothing except leaves in our boat. As Sadhu finished his daily ablutions, he became uneasy as he realized that the boat was feeling lighter than it had been.
