The king was impressed by the cow very much. The king wanted to take the cow with him. But Renuka denied giving the cow.
King annoyed and therefore, he took Renuka with him and locked her in his palace. Renuka somehow escaped from the palace with the help of the queen in the absence of the king and came back to the Kajari Van.
She told the whole story to the Saint Jamdagini. Jamdagini rishi angered from Renuka as she passed one night in the king’s palace.
