## Chapter 248: The Story of the Rejection of the Eager One

The minister agreed to the king's request. The eagerness of the blind, women, children, and fools is indeed strong. ||17||

The king, sitting before the king, read a poem by Vararuchi. The minister, praising it, said, "Oh, what a beautiful saying!" ||18||

The king then gave him one hundred and eight dinars. The words of a king, even if they are not favorable, are still to be lived by. ||19||

When one hundred and eight dinars were given every day, the minister asked the king, "What is this being given for?" ||20||

The king replied, "Minister, I am giving it to him because of your praise. If we were to give it ourselves, wouldn't we have given it long ago?" ||21||

The minister said, "My lord, I did not create any praise for him. I was praising the poems of others at that time." ||22||

"He is reading other people's poems in front of us, claiming them as his own. Is this true?" the king asked. ||23||

"I will show you in the morning, even young girls can recite these poems," the minister said. ||24||

Yaks, Yakshas, Bhutas, Bhutas, and Venas, seven wise daughters of the minister, were named Rene. ||25||

The eldest of them could recite the poems once, while the others could recite them twice, thrice, and so on, according to their age. ||26||

The minister brought them to the king on the second day. He arranged them in a way that they were separated from the one who was rejected. ||27||

Vararuchi, having composed one hundred and eight verses himself, recited them in the order of seniority. ||28||

The king, angered by Vararuchi, stopped the gift. The methods of ministers are capable of both punishment and favor. ||29||

Vararuchi then went and made a device in the Ganges water. He put one hundred and eight dinars wrapped in cloth inside it. ||30||

In the morning, he praised the Ganges and then approached the device with a strong hand. The dinars flew out of it and fell into his hand. ||31||

He did this every day, and the people were amazed. Hearing this from the people, the king praised the minister. ||32||

"If this is true, then we will see it ourselves tomorrow morning," the king said. The minister agreed to this. ||33||

The king, having been taught, sent a messenger there in the evening. The messenger, disguised as a bird, remained hidden in the reeds. ||34||

Vararuchi then went and secretly placed a bundle of one hundred and eight dinars in the Mandakini water and went home. ||35||

The messenger, taking the bundle of dinars as if it were his life, respectfully presented it to the minister in secret. ||36||

The minister, secretly taking the bundle of dinars, went to the Ganges with the king. Vararuchi arrived there at that time. ||37||

Seeing the king, who was eager to see him, Vararuchi, being arrogant and full of pride, began to praise the Ganges in detail. ||38||

When Vararuchi was praising the Ganges, he accidentally moved the device. The bundle of dinars flew out and fell into his lap. ||39||

He searched for the bundle with his hand in the water. He stood there silently, a cunning, deceitful, and silent fool. ||40||
