Some time later Samudradatt Fisherman died.

That Shriyak cook had employed many assistants, working on wages and food, which used to enter the great river Yamuna in small boats. They used to move around, scoop (hrid-galan), contaminate (hrid-malan), agitate (hrid-mardan), churn (hrid-manthan), drain (hrid-vahan) and discharge (hrid-pravahan) the river water in order to terrify and displace fish to facilitate hauling the same.

Thus they caught small and soft... and so on up to... large and stout fish and filled their boats. With haul they returned to the river-bank, unloaded it in a heap, and left it to dry in sun.
Many other employees, working on wages and food, fried, roasted, grilled this sun-dried fish-meat in order to earn their living by selling same on roadside. Shaurika datt too frequently enjoyed cooked roasted and grilled fish-meat with six kinds of wine.
At a certain time while eating the cooked roasted and grilled fish-meat, a fish bone got stuck in Shaurikadatt Fisherman's throat causing excruciating pain to him. Tormented by this, Shaurikadatt called his servants and instructed, "Beloved of gods! Go and make this announcement loudly at every corner, crossings where three, four or more roads meet, main road and streets in Shaurikapur City-0 Beloved of gods! Shaurikadatt has a fish bone stuck in his throat. Any Vaidya (qualified Ayurvedic doctor) and junior Vaidya, senior and junior Jnayak (those who learned and practiced the art of healing through their own experience), and senior and junior Chikitsak (those who practiced medicine and surgery) who is able to remove this fish bone will be amply and richly rewarded by Shaurikadatt.' The servants made the announcement as told.
Hearing and understanding this announcement many healers (etc.) came to the residence of Shaurikadatt. They did the diagnosis by employing their four kinds of wisdom, namely-autpattiki buddhi (intuitive wisdom), vainayiki buddhi (acquired wisdom), karmaja buddhi (practical wisdom), and parinamiki buddhi (deductive wisdom). Then they tried their best to give relief to Shaurikadatt by making efforts to remove the fish bone by using various procedures, such as-making him vomit, by giving him expectorants (chhardan), by giving massage or compression (avapidan), by placing wooden pieces between molars to force open the mouth (kavalagraha), by using surgical instruments (shalyoddhar), and by applying medicines. But they failed to remove the fish bone from Shaurikadatt's throat and stop the flow of blood and pus. When these healers got exhausted (shraant), confused or mentally tired (cant), and disappointed (paritant) they returned from where they came.
Disappointed with the treatment given by the healers and suffering excruciating and intolerable pain, Shaurikadatt has become emaciated and has been reduced to a mere skeleton. He spends his time in misery.
