Legend edit

Vikram Aur Betaal draws its inspiration from 'Betaal Pachisi,' an enchanting collection penned by the 11th-century Kashmiri poet Somdev Bhatt. These captivating tales unfold as the witty ghost Betaal shares his narratives with the wise King Vikramaditya.

Vikramaditya, a formidable ruler governing a flourishing kingdom from his capital in Ujjain, was known for his passion for knowledge and adventure. Fearless and resolute, the king welcomed daily visitors who bestowed him with various gifts, all of which he graciously accepted. Among these guests was a mendicant who, on each visit, presented the king with fruit. Vikramaditya, in turn, entrusted these gifts to the royal storekeeper. One fateful day, as the king handled the fruit, a surprising discovery unfolded—a ruby concealed within. Intrigued, Vikramaditya ordered an inspection of all the fruits, revealing a cache of fine rubies. Determined to understand the mystery, the king sought out the mendicant, who set a peculiar condition for their meeting under a Banyan tree in the heart of the cremation ground, at night, on the 14th day of the dark half of the month.Abiding by the arrangement, the king met the mendicant, who revealed a task only a ruler like Vikramaditya could undertake. He instructed the king to retrieve a centuries-old corpse hanging from a tree's branch at the northernmost corner of the ground. The mendicant sought occult powers through specific rites performed on this particular corpse.

Legend has it that Vikramaditya, driven by a vow, had to transport Betaal's corpse silently from one location to another. During this journey, Betaal's spirit within the corpse narrated stories, concluding each with a question. The king, bound by the vow, had to respond; failure to do so risked dire consequences. Yet, each time Vikramaditya answered, Betaal returned to the treetop, leaving the king short of his destination. Undeterred, Vikramaditya persisted, completing all 25 stories as dictated by 'Betaal Pachisi.' However, Betaal eventually disclosed the mendicant's sinister motive. Intent on acquiring world powers, the mendicant planned to kill the king during the occult rites on Betaal's corpse. Suspicion arose in Vikramaditya's mind, but he proceeded to meet the mendicant, anticipating a surprise. True to Betaal's revelation, the mendicant attempted to kill Vikramaditya, who, displaying cunning prowess, outsmarted and defeated his assailant, exposing the nefarious plan.

Thus, the tales of Vikram Aur Betaal unfold, weaving together elements of suspense, wisdom, and the triumph of virtue over treachery.[2]
