The fact that gold was accumulating in the palace of Śrñjaya due to the boon given to Suvarṇaṣṭhivī, reached the ears of robbers. One night they carried the child away, and killed him. Then only did they come to understand that was no gold inside him. Śrñjaya cried aloud at the loss of his son. To pacify the King, Nārada and Parvata told him stories of sixteen kings. (M.B. Droṇa Parva, Chapter 55).
