## Chapter Three:

Those who said that Kunḍala was in a state of unrestrained violence, upon hearing this, Sundary told Guṇapāla, "Tonight, taking the cattle, go to the forest, and after sending you there, your mother will kill you with a dagger, so be careful." And Dhanashri, in the evening, told Guṇapāla, "Son, the dagger is a disfiguring weapon, so take the cattle and go to the forest." He took the cattle to the forest, covered a piece of wood with cloth, and hid himself. Kunḍala came and thinking it was Guṇapāla, struck the cloth-covered wood. Guṇapāla, seeing this, killed him with his sword. When Guṇapāla returned home, Dhanashri asked, "Where is Kunḍala?" He replied, "Kunḍala's story is written on this sword." Seeing the blood-stained arm, she killed him with the same sword. Seeing Dhanashri killing him, Sundary was killed with a pestle. When the commotion arose, the guards seized Dhanashri and brought her before the king. The king ordered her to be punished by being made to ride a donkey, having her nose and ears cut off, and other punishments. She died and went to hell, as is the fate of those who break their first vow. Satyaghoṣa, due to his untruthfulness, suffered much pain.

This is the story. In Jambudvipa, in the Bharata Kṣetra, in the city of Singhapura, there was a king named Singhāsena, his queen was Rāmadattā, and the priest was Śrībhūti. He was wearing a sacred thread and walking around. He said, "If I speak the truth, then this sacred thread will cut off my tongue." Thus, he was deceitful, and he got a second name, Satyaghoṣa. People trusted him and kept their valuables with him. He would give some of their valuables to others and keep some for himself. People were afraid to accuse him, and the king did not hear any accusations. Once, a merchant's son named Samudradattā came from Padmakhaṇḍapura, and keeping five priceless jewels with Satyaghoṣa, he went to the other shore to earn money. There, he earned money, but he was robbed, and his goods were scattered.
