Kongyamba thought of evil plots against Khamba. So, he gathered many people in front of Khamba's house. He announced that everyone should wear dresses of luxury and jewels of gold and silver in the festival of the Gods. He lied that it was the King's order. Everyone believed him. Khamnu asked him about what he was saying. Kongyamba scolded her if she has no ears for not listening to the King's order. She wept of shame. Khamba fell sad because he had such clothes.

At that day's night, Kongyamba planned with his men how to defeat Khamba. "Many are the races I have won, and heavy will be my disgrace if this year I am second to Khamba."< On the next day, Kongyamba announced to the people, "It is evil for land if a poor man win the race. It might bring scarcity more than the people can bear. Let's say this among the people before the race begin." This words spread among the public. Khamba was stopped and told that his name was not in the list of the contestants. Khamba believed them. So,
