"A cloud thundered in another place. Hearing it, I ran away in fear." On this, the Swami said, "O friend, you are compassionate. You are the Lakshmi of my house-like lotus. While you are here, I will obtain Lakshmi. You are a mine of gem-like qualities. You have done this Dharma by giving food to the Muni. They are not stones, but divine gems." Saying this, the merchant quickly reached the Nagabhavan. But the enemy-merchant (Sukethu) took that wealth. Sukethu said, "Don't say anything."
"Patta-himakiran and ksheera-like radiant, my Nagabhavan, fallen, extremely radiant, manijya, are mine." ||25||
Another said, "You are small and wicked. This is the fruit of my wife's donation. O thief, don't kidnap it, the king will be angry." Then, with that evil mind, he went to where the king was. Who can find the speed of Dharma? That king and that merchant were also extremely foolish and deceived by greed. As he accepted that wealth in his mind, he became a group of bricks. The demons freed by Nagar Devi frightened the followers. The king also became apprehensive in his mind, but Sukethu was thrilled. He gave the group of gems. Arrogance disappeared. Tell me, who is not purified by the one who practices penance!
