The elder sister's name was Tara and the younger one's name was Rukman. One day, they both came to earth and decided to keep Ekadashi fast at a place. Tara asked her younger sister to buy fresh fruits from the nearby market and instructed her not to eat anything in the market when she goes to the market, because today is Ekadashi fast. On the instructions of her elder sister, Rukman went to the market to buy fruits. While she was buying fruits from the market, she saw fish pakoras being made at a place nearby, due to which she felt like eating fish pakoras and then she kept the fruit there and ate the fish pakoras. Then she went back to her sister Tara without taking the fruit. When Tara saw her without fruit, she asked why she had not brought any fruit. In response, Rukman said that she had eaten fish pakoras, which made Tara angry. She accused her sister of committing a sin by eating fish on the day of Ekadashi and as a punishment cursed her to turn into a lizard. As a result of Tara's curse, Rukman started living in the forest as a lizard. In the same forest, the famous saint Guru Gorakh lived with his disciples, one of whom was extremely arrogant. Due to his ego, he sat alone in a water pot filled with water and meditated. Just then a thirsty cow came there. The cow put her mouth in the water pot kept next to the disciple and drank the water. When the cow removed her head from the water pot, the water pot fell on the ground, which disturbed the meditation of the disciple.
