There the woman lay almost dead with fear. The ghost put on the clothes of the woman and went into the house of the Brahman.

The mother -in-law was stretching her arm to fetch things from far away and using her blazing foot for cooking. She told her son, and they watched the ghost closely. They called an exorcist, who used burnt turmeric to reveal the ghost. The ghost confessed and said the real wife was in the tree. They rescued the almost- dead wife. The ghost Wes beaten and promised not to harm them again. The wife was recovered,and they lived happily with many children...
