The guru manages to save his disciple's life by using a clever ruse to fool the king. When the disciple is about to be executed on a stake, the guru arrives just in time and whispers to the king that the stake is special: the first person executed on it will be reborn as the king in the next life, and the second person executed will become the minister. Greedy to retain power, the king postpones the execution of the guru and disciple. Ultimately, the king and his minister execute themselves to secure their future positions, while the guru and disciple are secretly released and spared. This strategic deception by the guru saves his disciple's life
