MAHABAL MALAYASUNDARI
Some wise person has said-  If someone gives you thorn, give him flower. You will be rewarded with flowers and he with thorns.
As a rule bad deeds bring a harvest of bad fruits and good deeds with that of good fruits. It is surprising that even after knowing this fact man keeps on creating hurdles for others. Under the influence of evil feelings of animosity, hatred and jealousy he indulges in conspiracies to harm others. But the end result is that the thorns he spreads for others pierce his own heart like a trident and torment him.
Queen Champakmala, the wife of king Viradhaval, was chaste and religious. His other queen Kanakamala was cruel and jealous by nature and was ever plagued by the evil intent of harming others. Malayasundari, the daughter of Champakmala, was also an embodiment of virtues like chastity, religiosity and tolerance.
Mahabal Kumar, the son of king Soorpal, was a religious, noble, generous and brave young man. Kanakamala, the step-mother of Malayasundari made all efforts to create hurdles in the life of Mahabal and Malaya. Her intent was to cause them pain at every step. But noble and religious Mahabal-Malaya turned all these thorns into flow- ers. They faced every storm in life with courage and wisdom. They displayed their generosity by forgiving all misdeeds of the stepmother. One did not stop from being mean and the other displayed greatness through generosity. In the end the goodness and religiosity of Mahabal and Malayasundari won.
