Once there was a king who had six marriages one after another, but he did not have any children. Finally, he married again, and by luck, he got her pregnant. When the six queens found out about this, they thought, "We will no longer stay here." So they conspired against her and told the king to drive her out of the house. The youngest queen went out begging and started to make a living. One day, she gave birth to a son and began to raise him.

As the boy grew up, he wanted to go here and there for work. His mother advised him, "Go east, go west, go north, but don't go south!" The son wanted to know the reason behind this. Initially, the mother did not want to tell him, but eventually said, "In the south is your father's kingdom. There, the king has six queens, and if they find out about you, they will kill you!" Hearing this, the boy did not listen and went south. There, he worked for the king. After some days, the queens found out that he was the son of the king's youngest queen. The king, upon learning this, would want to have him sent away, so the queens told the king about the boy to have him captured.

Many days passed, and his mother went out searching for him, crying. Her cries and wails made the trees and plants wither. When she found out that her son was captured by the king, she began to go daily to the back of the palace and cry. Hearing her cries, one day the king sent his servant to inquire, "Who are you? Are you a goddess, a spirit, a genie, or a fairy? What sadness makes you come here to cry every day?" Yet she continued to weep:

"A boy was born in the palace, and he is a poor thing, but any lord who binds him, oh Ram!"

Upon hearing this lament, the king himself came and asked her, "Who are you, and why are you crying?" The queen replied, "I had a son who came here to work, and you have captured him. That's why I am crying." The king wanted to know everything about her situation, so she recounted the entire story from the beginning: "When I was pregnant, my six queens had me driven out of the house. That very son is the one you have bound! Since that day, I have been surviving by begging and eating!" Upon hearing this, the king became frantic about his son, and he showered the six queens with riches and rewards. Then he took the youngest queen into his palace and kept her there. That boy became a prince, and after some days, he became the king.
