Hearing this, Devaki, filled with anger, said, "Due to lack of knowledge, I had sent a message to my daughter through the Muni." The Muni Dhanadatta started to be condemned in all the realms. Even his sermons were disregarded.
**28. The Fault of Nimitta: The Example of the Village Chief**
In a village, there lived a dejected Naimittika Sadhu. The village chief had gone on a pilgrimage, leaving his wife behind. The Naimittika, using his Nimitta knowledge, attracted the chief's wife. The chief, from a distant village, thought, "I will go in disguise and see if my wife is virtuous or unvirtuous." Knowing about the chief's arrival from the Naimittika Sadhu, the wife sent her relatives to meet him. The chief asked them, "How did you know about my arrival?" They replied, "Your wife told us." He pondered, "How did my wife know about my arrival?"
The Sadhu arrived at the house of the village chief's wife. He confidently told her about the conversation, actions, dreams, and the marks, tilak, etc., of her husband. Meanwhile, the village chief arrived home. He welcomed his wife properly. He asked, "How did you know about my arrival?" She replied, "I got the information through the Naimittika Sadhu's Nimitta knowledge." The chief asked, "Does he have any other trustworthy knowledge?" She then told him about the conversation, actions, etc., that she had with her husband, the dreams she had, and the tilak on her private parts, all of which the Naimittika Sadhu had accurately revealed. Filled with jealousy and anger, the chief asked the Sadhu, "What is in the belly of this mare?" The Sadhu replied, "A foal with Pancha-Pundra." The chief thought, "If this is true, then the marks, tilak, etc., that he told my wife about must also be true. Otherwise, he must be a fornicator who commits wrong deeds and deserves to be killed." Thinking this, he cut open the mare's belly. A pulsating Pancha-Pundra youth emerged. Seeing this, his anger subsided. He said to the Sadhu, "If this had not been true, you would not be alive in this world."
**29. The Fault of Treatment: The Example of the Lion**
In a forest, a tiger became blind. Due to blindness, it became difficult for him to find prey. A physician cured his blindness. Upon regaining his health, the tiger first killed the physician and then started killing other animals in the forest.
