“Yes, something I remember faintly ?? The Brahmin said :
“I have some ornaments. It will be inconvenient for me to tour with them. So will you purchase them ?
The goldsmith was tempted, seeing the costly ornaments. He kept the ornaments with him. The Brahmin went for a bath.
Now, there was gloom spread in the city because of the death of the prince.
The Royal proclamation was made as follows :
“Someone has killed the prince and took away the ornaments. The citizen who catch hold of the murdever will be given big prizes.”
The goldsmith in the selfish hope of getting the prize, went to the king and told him that the Brahmin who had killed the prince has gone to the river."
