The opening of the children's telling
Long ago, in a city called Kampilya, there lived Queen Shyama. She was going to have a baby. The king and queen were kind and good, and they loved to pray together.
While she waited, something lovely happened. The queen seemed to glow with a soft, gentle light. She became even kinder and calmer. Everyone near her felt peaceful too.
