The king cuts off his flesh

The king arranged for weighing scales. He put the dove on one side of the scales and he then cut off flesh from his thigh and put that on the other side of the scales. He kept adding his own flesh, but he was not able to equal the weight of the dove, who was none other than Agni.
Seeing that it was not working, the king took the name of Hari and got on the scales himself.

The eagle then said I am Indra, the king of Gods, The dove is Agni. We have come here to see how just and noble you are. We are truly pleased with you. Your body will become whole again. You will be able to attain heaven. Come with us, leave this world proceed towards heaven with us.

From the heavens, Gods started showering flowers. A chariot came, and the king with Indra and Agni went towards heaven.
