"Raja Rasalu and Puran Bhagat, sons of the Raja of Sialkot (100-200 AD). Raja Rasalu was a handsome prince who dallied with the pretty maidens, went hunting, killed giants, robbed the rich and gave it to the poor. He had a horse ’’fauladi’’ and a parrot ’’Shadi’’ always resting on his shoulder. Puran, the step brother was more saintly. He rebuffs the advances of his step mother, Loona, and leaves home. He becomes a symbol of goodness and is called Puran Bhagat."

, Rani Loona felt jealous of her and did not miss any opportunities to insult Rani Achchran and her son Puran.
Prince Puran grew up to be a handsome young man. Rani Loona (stepmother) felt attraction toward the young prince but he was a gentleman. Rani Loona tried to seduce the prince in her room but he managed to escape. Rani Loona felt so ashamed and angry that she lied to Raja Salbahan by telling him that Prince Puran had attempted to rape her. Raja Salbahan became so infuriated that he ordered his soldiers to cut off Prince Puran's hands and feet and throw him in a well. The soldiers carried out Raja Salbahan's orders and threw the Prince in a well outside the city called as Puran's Well[1].
