The Sixty-Second Chapter
161. Having been asked, he satisfied him with bath, clothes, seat, etc. Out of fear of revealing the difference in their castes, he properly understood his mind. || 335 ||
He, the Brahmin, being overwhelmed by extreme poverty, considered him as his son and followed the path of maintaining the position of the needy. || 336 ||
Some days passed in this way for the two, keeping their affairs concealed. One day, Satyabhāma, having adorned the Brahmin with a lot of wealth, asked him in private, "Tell me the truth, is this your son? I do not believe that he is your son because of his evil character." || 337 ||
He, being envious of Kapil, desired to go home with the gold and wealth given by Satyabhāma. So, he told everything truthfully, as there is nothing difficult for wicked people. || 339 ||
Then, the king of that city was Śrīṣeṇa. He had two queens, Siṃhananditā and Aninditā. They had two sons, Indrasena and Upeṇḍrasena, who were as beautiful as Indra and the moon, and were the best among men. Both of these sons were very humble, so their parents were very pleased with them. || 340-341 ||
Satyabhāma, being proud of her lineage, did not want to live with her sinful husband and went to the king for refuge. || 342 ||
Then, Kapil, the deceitful Brahmin, who proclaimed injustice, sat near the king. He had placed his hand on his head due to sorrow. Seeing him and knowing his whole story, King Śrīṣeṇa thought, "There is nothing that is not fit to be done in the world for sinful, outcaste people. That is why kings collect such noble people, who never become corrupt in the beginning, middle, or end." || 343-345 ||
"He who desires love for a woman who is detached, while he himself is attached, desires red brilliance in an Indranīla gem." || 346 ||
Thinking like this, the king immediately expelled that wicked man from his country, as righteous people do not tolerate the loss of their dignity. || 347 ||
One day, the king received two Cārana sages, Ādityagati and Ariñjaya, who had come to his house. He welcomed them and gave them food and gifts.
