KULASEKHARA

Being a king, he had decorated those idols with costly jewels set with diamonds, pearls, sapphire, ruby and other precious gems.

Those ministers removed one costly jewel from the idols and reported to the king:

"Sir, one of the Vaishnava sadhus has
stolen a necklace belonging to the temple deities. You must not keep them in the palace any more. Please punish them and send them away!"

King Kulasekhara could not believe it.
He said: "The sadhu will never steaI the necklace from the Lord; I shall stake my life. 

So saying he asked them to bring a deadly cobra in a pot.
