Story of Satyaharischandra
Once there was a heated argument between Vishamitra and Vasista. Vishwamitra said there is no one in country who tells only truth . But Vasista said there is Harischadra. Vishwamitra challenged Vasista that he will prove it is false. Vasista agreed.
Vishwamitra created some girls and asked them to dance infront of Harischandra. Seeing the dance, Harischandra asked the girls to demand anything as he liked their dance. Then girls asked him to marry them. But Harischandra was already married. He didnt agree. Then Vishwamitra came forward and asked him to pay cash as he is the father of girls.
Harischandra agreed. But he could not fulfill the demands of Vishwamitra. He had given his whole kingdom . But also it was less. Then Harischandra went to Kashi with his wife and son. There he sold his wife and son. He also sold himself to a guard of a cemetry . He was working in cemetry.
His wife was working as a maid. Once Harischandra's son died because of snake biting. His wife came to cemetry with dead body of her son. But Harischandra didnt recognise his wife and son. He demanded money to perform the last rites of dead.
His wife went to fetch the money. But on midway, she saw the dead body of prince. The royal guards thought that she had killed prince. King ordered to prosecute her to death. Again they came back to cemetry. But Harischandra was ready to prosecute his own wife in order to adjust money for debt. Then Vishwamitra came and told truth.
Viswamitra cleared Harischandra of his debt. Vishwamitra accepted his defeat and hailed Harischandra for his truthfullness.
