Vikram Betaal

Vikram và Betaal tầng trong Tiếng Hin-ddi.

The stories of Vikram and Betal, originally written in Sanskrit, is a collection of tales and legends within a frame story, from India. It had been an integral part of Indian fairy tales for many centuries.

The legend says that King Vikramaditya, in order to fulfil a vow, was required to remove a corpse of betaal from a treetop and carry it on his shoulder to another place in silence.

En route, the spirit of Betaal (in the corpse) used to narrate a story to the king and after completing the story Betaal would pose a query that if he (The king) knew the answer, was bound to respond lest he will break his head into thousand pieces.

But if he does speak out, he would break the vow of silence and Betaal would fly back to the treetop, leaving the king inches short of his destination! The king would go after the vampire and start all over again. And so on and on.
