Answer:
Mara met the king the first time in order to tell him about the conversation he had with the Goddess in his dream.
Explanation:
- The Goddess of the river appeared in Mara's dream several times and told him to ask his king to build a tank for river Veda and to not let river Veda leave their village.
- Mara wanted to report to the king about his dream in which the Goddess had asked him to speak to the king about a tank to be built to preserve the water of river Veda.
- Mara revealed the King of the appearance of Goddess once again in his dreams in an angry mood. She had threatened that river Veda would overflow and destroy the villages.
- After meeting the king he requested the king to get him executed and prevent him from returning to the Goddess. Though the king disliked the suggestion, finally he granted Mara's wish and got him executed. The Goddess stayed her hand, did not destroy the tank and waited for Mara's return. Thus, Mara saved the lake.
