When the monkey, perched on a wall and cut the fruit, a gem came out and fell before the king. Its glitter filled the court.
O King! Fruit begets
fruit.

Oh! It appears to be a gem. Is it an illusion?
So, what fruit do you expect from me? Tell me how can I help you?
O greatest, most courageous and best among men ! I want to perform a ritual practice to acquire a golden-man. There are obstacles of ghosts and demons in that practice.
The yogi explained
King of kings! This is, indeed, a gem. As the fruit contains this gem it
is called gem-fruit.
But Yogiraj ! Why do you give this fruit to me?

You are all powerful. You could help me accomplish my goal by becoming my assisting practiser.
The yogi addedO king! When my mission is accomplished I will gift you the goldenman I acquire. Like Kuber, the god of wealth, you will be enormously wealthy.
