PHILOSOPHY OF SOUL
Now let us see what happened this side. A shallow mind cannot maintain a secret for long. That servant, rather than maintaining the whole affair as a secret, himself went to the king and disclosed the matter in anticipation of some reward. The king was extremely irritated to learn the incident and ordered his soldiers to immediately produce before him the courtier.
The soldiers rushed forth and inquired of the where-abouts of the courtier. They came across Nityamitra's place and Nityamitra said "That wretch did come to me for shelter, and I am the last man to afford shelter to a murderer. I hope he must have gone to Parvamitra's place. Please inquire there."
The soldiers arrived at Parvamitra's place and he said, "I have not given him shelter. If you doubt, you can search my house. ""
Anyhow the soldiers learned that courtier stayed at Juharmitra's place. They severely scolded Juharmitra and said, "This is not fair on your part. Hand him over to us."
Juharmitra said, "You are wrong. You can search him out if you so desire."
Juharmitra insisted on the same statement whereby the soldiers' doubt was dispelled and they left.
As the courtier was not found, the king made a proclamation that a valuable reward would be granted to one who gave correct information as regards the courtier's whereabouts.
As the friends were tested for their sincerity, the courtier told to Juharmitra to respond to the King's proclamation and give full information as regards the whereabouts by stating that he was not guilty as the prince was living and could be produced before the king whenever the king so desired.
Juharmitra approached the king who having listened to Juharmitra's words, ordered to produce before him the prince and the courtier. When they were produced, the king was very happy and he amply rewarded Juharmitra. But he asked the courtier "What is all this about?" The courtier narrated the whole affair with the intended purpose. The king thereupon felt high esteem for the courtier's deep insight. The courtier was granted increment in his salary. He continued with Juharmitra's love and friendship having abandoned Nityamitra and Parvamitra.
