**Pindaniyukti 30. Krodha Pind: Kshapaka Dristant**
In the city of Hastakalp, a Brahmin's house was hosting a death feast. A sadhu, who had performed a tapasya of one month without eating, arrived there to break his fast. He saw the Brahmins giving away ghevar as charity. The sadhu was stopped by the gatekeeper. The sadhu became angry and said, "If you don't give it today, then you will have to give it to me next month." Saying this, he left the house. By divine will, another person from that house died after five or six days. On the day of his death feast, the same sadhu arrived there to break his fast. That day too, the gatekeeper stopped him. The muni became angry and again said, "If not today, then you will have to give it to me sometime." Hearing this, the senior gatekeeper thought, "This sadhu has cursed like this twice before. Two people from the house have died. This is the third time. Now, no one else from the house should die." So, he told the head of the household everything. The head of the household apologized to the sadhu respectfully and gave him ghevar and other things as alms. (This is Krodha Pind).
**31. Shvetangali**
In a village, a man was completely under the control of his wife. Every morning, he would ask his wife for food because of hunger. She would say, "I am too lazy to get up so early, so you yourself take out the ashes from the stove, bring fire from the neighbor's house, light the stove, and cook food. When it is cooked, I will serve you and you can eat." Every day, he would do this as his wife said. Because of taking out the ashes from the stove every morning, his face would become white with ashes. So, people jokingly started calling him Shvetangali.
**32. Bakoddayak**
In a village, a man was very attached to the pleasure of seeing his wife's face. So, he was obedient to her every command. Once, his wife said, "I am feeling lazy today, so you go to the pond yourself and bring water." He accepted his wife's words as if they were the command of a god and said, "My dear, whatever you command, I will do. People should not see me bringing water, so I will get up in the west watch of the night and bring water every day." Because of his coming and going, the sound of his feet and the sound of filling the pot would wake up the herons sleeping on the trees near the pond. This story became known to the people. Jokingly, people started calling him Bakoddayak.
