## Synopsis
A Vikram and Betaal story, retold from Somadeva: on a moonless night King Trivikramasena carries a vetala-haunted corpse through the cremation ground, and the spirit on his shoulder tells of Mandaravati, a Brahmin's daughter loved by three young men. When she dies of a fever, one lies on her ashes, one carries her bones to the Ganges, and one wanders until he finds a spell that can raise the dead. She returns, shining like gold, and the three begin to quarrel. Whose wife is she? An AI-assisted retelling of the riddle tale "The Vetala's Second Tale (the three suitors)" from India.
