When he grew up, the people of the village often inappropriately looked at him and taunted him. One day suddenly he asked his family members, ‘Why do the people of the village treat me like this, who am I?’ Then he realized his truth. He came to know that his mother had abandoned him and given him up for adoption. He did not know what had happened to him or why his mother had abandoned him.
