Chandraketu dies

In the house of the king Niladhwaja, grew up and became a very beautiful maiden. The king arranged for a swayamvar for her. There the king Chandraketu wed Chandravati.
It was the time of the Chanrayana vrata. The king was smitten by his wife and ignoring the rules of the vrata, he made love to his wife. Chandravati tried to stop him but he did not listen. As a result of the incomplete worship, the king died. His son was made the king.

The dead king was taken to the abode of Yama. Yama said his sins were little and if could remove those, he would be free. To wash off the sins, the king was born as a vulture.

Chandravati hearing this went where her husband residing as a vulture. There the vulture performed the worship and soon by the blessings of Yama went back to heaven along with Chandravati.
