As told by the sages, Janak ji started plowing the field, when suddenly his plow collided with some metal. Even after trying a lot, when Janak ji could not remove it, he started digging that place. An urn came out from there. As soon as Janak ji removed the lid of the urn, a newborn girl was seen smiling in it.
