No doubt that iron hearted emperor did not see the beauty of that soul for he ordered that he should be beheaded. But the poet exclaimed, "No, if he is to be killed, then I must be killed first. I must be beheaded also, for I shall never find anyone who will appreciate my music as he has." So this poet died together with the Raja; and the sons of the poet, his whole family, all came and recited the most wonderful and inspiring poems which were just like the salt of the earth. Each one said one poem and died, for the merit of that Raja and the great wisdom he had shown.
