Their crazy deeds became unbearable for her and she decided to leave the Earth. She carried with her a pair of young trees and a lot of soil. She took a pair each of the deer, peacock, monkey, rabbit, parrot and tiger. Finally, she chose two little children, Anjana and Dev. She flew into the space with her large family.
