The merchant touched Muni Somachandra's feetGurudev! Please spare
this ill fated person. Don't make fun of me. Where are gold coins? This is a heap of coal
The merchant explained
Of course I once filled these pitchers with gold and silver coins and buried. But turn of fate reduced
them to coal. Are you calling this heap of coal, gold and silver coins?

The junior Muni asks that how come you drink poor man's soup when you have heaps of coins in your house? What is the matter?
Merchant your luck has taken a tum. A glance from Muni Somachandra has transformed the coal back to gold.
