The Adipurana, in the presence of the most noble Amitanant and Anantmati Aryikas, attained the highest state of restraint. When the king, Prajapala, gave all his wealth to his son, Lokapala, he also embraced restraint in the Shivakar forest, under the guidance of the sage, Shilgupta. Similarly, the queens, Kanakmala and others, also engaged in rigorous austerities. It is only natural, for when the king leads the way, even those with limited strength follow the same difficult path.
Lokapala, having attained the glory of kingship and whose prosperity was renowned everywhere, ruled the earth in accordance with the counsel of Kubera Mitra. The king had a minister named Falgumati, who was ignorant, a liar, of the same age as the king, a fool, and naturally fickle and wicked.
This minister was afraid to speak directly to Kubera Datt Seth in the presence of the king, so he wanted to remove the Seth from the king's presence. He persuaded and bribed the head guard of the king's sleeping quarters, telling him, "You should disappear like a deity at night and tell the king, 'O King, Kubera Mitra is like a father to you, and it is not possible to maintain his respect by keeping him always by your side. Therefore, do not keep him always with you, but call him only when needed.' Thus, Falgumati spoke to the head guard of the sleeping quarters, and he did everything as instructed. It is only natural, for there is nothing that money-hungry people will not do in this world.
Hearing the words of the head guard, the king was also afraid and, without thinking, called his uncle (Kubera Mitra) and said, "You should not come without being called."
The words spoken without prior thought bear poisonous fruit. The Seth, immediately filled with anxiety, went to his own house after hearing those words.
Two daughters were also present to witness this trial. When their uncle, Kubera Mitra, did not give them the food-filled vessels, they were overcome with shame and their faces hung low. At that very moment, they felt a sense of detachment.
