On another day the King and the yogī went to the temple and as they walked about they saw the doll on one of the pillars crying. The King asked the yogī the reason for the doll crying thus. The yogī replied "Oh, King this temple is not located in a proper place. Further the deity here was not installed at an auspicious time. If this continues the King will come to ruin. That was why the doll cried." On hearing this the King ordered the temple to be completely demolished and the place made a plain ground. The order was carried out and Kalāvatī got release from the curse. She went to heaven and told Indra all that had happened. Indra immediately sent Kalāvatī to fetch Thiṇṭhākarāla to heaven and then both of them lived happily in heaven. (Taraṅga 2, Viṣamaśilalambaka, Kathāsaritsāgara).
