Raja Veerbhadra was a good king but he was childless. He was sinking deeper into grief thinking who will inherit 'His Kingdom'.
An enlightened rishi passing through his kingdom took mercy on him and decided to help him out of his misery.
He took Veerbhadra's soul out of his body and took him to witness, his prime ministers making an alliance with the neighbouring king to overthrow him and control 'His Kingdom'.
His generals were taking bribes and selling pieces of 'His Kingdom' to foreign spies.
His own queen is donating her jewellery and possessions, getting ready for Vanashram.
Rishi explained he should not lose himself over a piece of the land. He said "what you call Your Kingdom is merely a piece of land under your administration and not your kingdom".
Raja understood and bowed to him in gratitude.
Rishi blessed him and told him "if he tills his land and Mother Earth truely blesses him, then he can reconnect with the land that he loves so much".
Veerbhadra understood and started ploughing and sowing seeds in his fields and mother earth blessed him with abudance, wherever he worked on land, Earth blessed him endless bountiful produce.
His kingdom was overflowing with grains as he tilled the land every day, his kingdom grew rich, no one was hungry , poor or unfed in his territory.
So much was bursting out of the Earths womb,that he donated without measures to the neighbouring kingdoms, news spread far and wide.
One of the neighboring kingdom of Chandrikavansh was facing a severe drought for several years, king learning about Verrbhadras boon and requested him to come as a royal guest and till the land in his kingdom.
Veerbhadra happily went and performed the task, the drought was over and granaries were soon overflowing.
Elated and touched, king of Chandrika region asked Raja Veerhadra to take his youngest son Nakul with him and teach him how to reconnect with the Mother Earth. Raja's heart was truely touched , he took care of Nakul as his own son, While he tilled the land, Nakul sowed the seeds.
Over the years they both worked on the fields together and he taught him all the skills of a good administrator.When Raja Veerbhadra passed away content and peacefully in his sleep Nakul took over as the rightful king ' the true son of the soil.'
