On the day of Diwali, when all the daughters-in-law went to the forest to collect soil, their sons-in-law also went with them. A porcupine lived at that place with her children. A baby porcupine was accidentally killed by the scabbard of the moneylender's daughter. Due to which the porcupine became angry and she warned the moneylender's daughter that she would bind her womb.

Hearing this, out of fear the moneylender's daughter started crying loudly and sought help from her sisters-in-law.
