What happens at the end of Vikram and Betal story? I did some searching and I found some info like

Vetala Panchavimshati (Sanskrit: वेतालपञ्चविंशति, IAST: vetālapañcaviṃśati or Baital Pachisi (Bengali) ("Twenty-five (tales) of Baital"), is a collection of tales and legends within a frame story, from India. It was originally written in Sanskrit.

I just want to know what the end of the story is.

    I'm not sure that questions about Vikram-and-Betaal are on-topic here - they're certainly about Hindu people, but are the stories themselves related to Hinduism in any substantial sense?

    @senshin Well, the people being Hindu isn't the only connection to Hinduism - the gods do play a role in the story.

    @senshin you are the one who gave answer as on-topic :P.

  • @Mr_Green Do note that I was careful to specify that questions about Vikramaditya in a particular Purana ought to be on-topic. I don't really have a strong opinion on Vikram-Betaal, but my sense is that, as a piece of folklore, it falls somewhere in between questions that are obviously on topic (e.g. scripture) and questions that are obviously off-topic (e.g. straight-up history questions). It's been long enough since I read Vikram-Betaal that I don't really remember the details of the story, so I don't have a strong opinion about the on-topicness of this question... [cont.]

  • ...though @Keshav is of course right to note that there are divine elements to the story, which is a point in its favor.

Vetaal explains to King Vikram aaditya the evil intentions of the tantrik who had asked king vikram to get vetaal for sacrifice. Eventually Vikram kills the tantrik frees vetaal with a wish that he will come to his aid when needed
