After listening to this Shyam ready to meet them and buy some gifts for them and reached to their place after that he offered gifts to them then they asked what u want then he tell I want your land as it's so fertile.


Bashkirs we're ready but they told to Shyam that how many miles you run is your land. Then they all gathered in a ground and Shyam started running and he tries to cover whole ground but in all he forgot that before the sun sets he has to reach its destination from where he starts running and now it's too far from his reach and continuously running barefoot made him so tired that he unable to run..and after sometimes his breath stops and he died...then he dug at same place as he wants this land.
