**Verse 16:** While alive, he [the king] was devoted to sin, and after death, he would go to the seventh hell. The Time-and-Prosperity-Maker said to him, "Do not live, do not die."

**Verse 17:** Hearing this, the king, bowing to the Lord, said, "O Lord, the Lord of the world, how can I go to hell?"

**Verse 18:** The Lord said, "In the past, you were a king. You were bound by karma to hell, and therefore you will surely go there."

**Verse 19:** "The fruits of good and bad deeds are bound by past karma. We must experience them, we cannot do otherwise."

**Verse 20:** "In the twenty-fourth cycle of births and deaths, you will be the king named Padma-Nabha. Do not be distressed by this."

**Verse 21:** The king said, "O Lord, is there any way to escape hell, like a blind man escaping a well?"

**Verse 22:** The Lord said, "With devotion, give alms to the virtuous, especially to the Brahmanas, and if you give alms to Kapila with joy,

**Verse 23:** "Or if you free the birds from the Time-and-Prosperity-Maker, then you will be freed from hell, O king, there is no other way."

**Verse 25:** The king, filled with faith, requested Kapila, "Give alms to the virtuous, I will make you rich."

**Verse 26:** Kapila said, "If you make me all of gold, or even kill me, I will not do this."

**Verse 27:** The Time-and-Prosperity-Maker also said to the king, "Free the birds, I will give you wealth. You are a greedy merchant."

**Verse 28:** "What harm is there in the birds, since humans live? I will never abandon them," said the Time-and-Prosperity-Maker.

**Verse 29:** "How will he do this bird business?" The king threw him into a well and kept him there day and night.

**Verse 30:** Then the king went to the Lord and said, "O Lord, the Time-and-Prosperity-Maker has abandoned the birds for a day and night."

**Verse 31:** The Omniscient said, "O king, even in the well, he killed five hundred buffaloes, made of clay, himself."

**Verse 32:** Going there, the king saw this with his own eyes, and then he said, "Alas, my past karma! It is not otherwise, O Lord."

**Verse 33:** Every day, he killed five hundred buffaloes, and the Time-and-Prosperity-Maker's heap of sin grew higher and higher.
