Chitraketu, ruled over Soorasena kingdom and was childless. Seeing his sorrow Angirasa maharshi informs Chitraketu and his wife Kritadyuti that a son would be born to them. However, the envy of Chitraketu's other wives led them to poison the child and kill him after he was born. Angirasa and Narada try to bring back the child back to life but the soul replies that he was the son to a large number of parents, in various births, and requested to be enlightened as to which of those parents he was to live with.

Understanding the situation, Narada leaves after imparting spiritual wisdom to Chitraketu and his wife. Both of them then immerse themselves in the spiritual path and attain the form of Gandharvas
