[Upasakadasangasutra]
A deva appeared before the Chullasaya Samanovasaya and said, "O Chullasaya Samanovasaya! If you do not abandon your vows, I will take your eldest son from your home today."
Just as it happened with the Chullani father, the same thing happened here. The deva killed the eldest, middle, and youngest sons, cutting them into pieces. He splattered the Chullasaya's body with flesh and blood.
The only difference was that the deva had cut the bodies into five pieces there, but here he cut them into seven pieces.
[159]
The Chullasaya Samanovasaya remained steadfast in his vows.
Threat of Wealth Destruction
[160]
The deva then said to the Chullasaya Samanovasaya for the fourth time, "O Chullasaya Samanovasaya! If you do not abandon your vows, I will take your six crore gold coins kept in your treasury, your six crore gold coins used in your business, and your six crore gold coins used for your home's wealth and decorations. I will bring them and scatter them all over the city of Alambika, in the Shringatak (triangular) places, Trik-Tirahas (three-way intersections), Chatusk-Chaurahas (four-way intersections), Chatvar (where more than four roads meet), Chaturbhuj (where four roads diverge), and Mahapath (major roads or highways). I will scatter them everywhere, so that you will be forced to wander in distress, seeking your wealth.
