When the robbers attacked the merchant group, Samudrasura, woke up all of a sudden.
During the attack, Samudrasura climbed a tree and stayed there.
Throughout the night he stayed on the tree and watched the robbers down.
The robbers took all they could from the group and left the place.
Samudrasura who was up all night on the tree could not sleep.
He looked around as the sun was coming up and he was stunned.
On the very branch that he was sitting, there was a nest and in the nest there were a few precious jewels. One of the precious jewels was a necklace that was carried away by the kite from the princess.
In the morning, Samudrasura took the necklace and came down the tree.
After that, he thanked Lord Shiva and went back to Harsapura and spent the rest of his life safe at home, satisfied with the riches that he had heard he had earned.
