A maid servant standing on the road heard these comments. She stopped them and asked
We are traders from Who are you, Nepal. We are here to brother?
sell our merchandise
So, were you not able to
sell ?
Goods can be sold only if people have money to buy. A blind man cannot
appreciate the beauty of a rose.
Don't use that language for Magadh. Wait a moment. I will
ask my mistress.
The maid ran into the palace. She repeated the comments of the traders before Bhadra and added
My Lady! These people say that only poor people live in
Rajagriha.
Is that so.
Call them Nat once.
The maid brought the traders in. The traders greeted Bhadra and said
Our greetings lady. We came to Rajagriha
with great hopes. But it appears that we will have to return
disappointed.
Gentlemen! Don't be dejected.
Show me your merchandise.
