Sage Narada continues telling Puranjana’s story to Pracheena Barhis.

Yavaneswara(fear), Jara(ageing) and Prajwara(fever) started roaming in the world leading everyone to misery.

One day they attacked Puranjana’s Puri fiercely. The weak serpent could not fight any longer.

Jara’s entry into the palace destroyed it and Puranjana felt miserable and helpless. None of his sons, daughters or their children came to him. Even his wife started to avoid him. Still he could not help loving them and expecting their love in return.

Finally Prajwara’s visit came and burnt down the entire palace. Panchanan, the serpent struggled like a snake in the hole of a burning tree.

Puranjana’s mind filled with memories of good, olden times. He grieved how his wife would survive with their children, after his death?

Thinking and thinking about his wife, he left his body as the guardian serpent finally ran away from the downfallen Puri.

Even at the time of death, Puranjana never thought of his old friend.
