A King of विन्ध्यदेश . He tortured his people because of his greed for money and यम sent him to hell when he died. In his next birth he was born as a monkey. At that time a priest of the King had taken life as a सारस bird. One day the monkey tried to catch the bird and then the bird (priest) reminded him of his previous birth and told him that in their next birth both of them would be swans and in the birth after that they would become men again.
