Both the daughters used to observe the full moon fast, but the elder daughter used to observe the complete fast methodically while the younger daughter used to do the unfinished fast. As a result, the younger daughter of the moneylender died as soon as she was born. When he asked the pundits the reason for the death of his children, he told that in the earlier times you used to do an incomplete fast of full moon, due to which all your children die as soon as they are born. Then the younger daughter asked the pundits to remedy it, so they told that if you lawfully observe the full moon day, then your children can live.

On the advice of those gentlemen, the small moneylender of the moneylender concluded the fast on the full moon day. As a result, he received the son Ratna, but he died soon after. Then the younger daughter covered the boy with the victim lying on the top. Then she called her elder sister and brought her the same agony to sit.
