The kingdom called Aanartadesha was ruled by a king named Pipaji, who was deeply rooted in truth and righteousness and was very famous. The muslims took to their heels at the sight of Pipaji, when he stood in the battlefield like Yama, holding the sword got by him due to the mercy of Devi Bhavani. Appearing in Her original form, Devi Bhavani used to accept mercifully the Pooja offered by him daily in the temple. Thus that great worshipper of Shakti earned the favor of Devi Maheshwaro owing to his firm devotion and won a number of victories over the territory of the muslims. One day, even when the Pooja was performed with all dedication, the Devi did not come in person to accept it. The king became very sad.
