Once upon a time there was a war between the demigods and the demons.The demigods came to earth, to India, where there was a powerful king named Khatvanga Maharaja. They requested him to help them- to become their general, their commander.
He told them, “Yes I am coming.”
And he went to the battlefield. It was a very big war, and at last the king defeated the demons. Some of them were killed, and the rest fled away.

The King said, “Actually, I want salvation from this world, and I want to serve the Supreme Personality of Godhead.”

The demigods said, “We are not able to give you that. You can ask for another boon.”
The King then said, “Then you should tell me when my death will come.”
They replied, “Very soon; in 24 minutes!!!”
He therefore requested that, “At once you should take me to India, to earth.” And they did so
.
When the king arrived, half of the time was gone and only 12 minutes remained.

He sat in a lotus position like a muni, and concentrated on the lotus-feet of Krishna. Thus, in a moment, he was liberated; and he had a chance to serve the lotus-feet of Krishna.
He went to spiritual world.
