King put the girl into the wooden box and poured it in the Sindh River. The box was found by childless launderer at Bhamboore. He considered the girl as a gift of God and brought her up as her own child.
Pannu was the son of Mir Ali Hoth. And was younger among all the bothers. When Sassi became older, the stories of her beauty spread far away. When Pannu heard about Sassi, he became excited to meet with her. For this purpose, the young prince travelled to Bhambore.
