A gardener named Hem used to bring fresh flowers to the king every day. But one-day Hemmali began to cry with his wife while giving flowers to the king. After waiting for a long time, when the gardener did not arrive with the flower, the king came in anger and ordered his servants to find Hemmali. The servants came back and told the king that the gardener is still touring with his wife. On this, King Kuber ordered Hemmali to call him. When Hemmali reached there, the king came in anger and cursed him that you would be separated from the woman and would be leprosy in the deceased.
