Once, the wealthy merchant Kuveramitra, who had come to the royal palace, would pick him up in his arms with great affection, laughing and talking to him. ||23|| Sometimes, he would eat the finest rice, mixed with sugar, offered by beautiful women with their lovely hands. ||24|| Sometimes, he would contemplate the virtue of non-violence, as explained by the merchant with reasons and examples, which brings benefit to all beings. ||25|| Sometimes, he would go near the feet of the Muni who had come to the palace and remove the dust with his wings. ||26|| When someone, out of curiosity, asked him about the fate of the wicked and the virtuous, he would point downwards with his beak, like a silent sage, indicating the fate of the wicked, and then point upwards with his beak, indicating the fate of the virtuous. This is right, because even the animals become wise due to the greatness of the virtue of non-violence. ||23-28|| Thus, the pigeon spent his time happily, playing with his beloved, Ratishena. ||29|| Sulochana says, "He, the lover of pleasure, is your husband, and she, Ratishena, is your beloved. Look, what does this creature, wandering in the cycle of birth and death, not become?" ||30|| A son, named Kuverakant, was born to the wealthy wife of Kuveradatta, who was extremely virtuous, intelligent, and seemed like another Kuvera. ||31|| Kuverakant had a close friend, Priyasena, who was like his second life, and had been with him since childhood. ||32|| From the time of his birth, the young Kuverakant had a most excellent wish-fulfilling cow, who fulfilled all his desires with her milk, providing all the means of happiness. ||33|| Every day, the wish-fulfilling cow produced a field of fragrant rice and another field of tall, thin-skinned sugarcane, as sweet as nectar. ||33-34|| Besides this, the wish-fulfilling cow would constantly play a beautiful Veena in front of the young man, and due to her power, he would be free from all diseases, sweat, and dirt during his bath. ||35||
