## The Forty-Sixth Chapter
473
Seeing the Talavara at night, he said, "I am outside today." Thus, the minister's son came at the time of the offering. || 304 || Seeing him, Prithudhi, the king's brother-in-law, by name, placed the Talavara in a casket, keeping him safe. || 305 || "You had given my ornaments to Satyavati, bring them now for your sister," said the king's brother-in-law. || 306 || He, having previously promised this, due to his vow-taking, became envious and hostile on the second day. || 307 || Considering him a witness, he went to the king, with the casket, and requested his wealth, offering him a garland of lotuses. || 308 || "I have not taken her wealth," said the king's brother-in-law, falsely. When the king asked Satyavati, she brought all the wealth and placed it before the king. || 309 || Seeing this, the king became very angry at his brother-in-law and ordered his soldiers, "This wicked man should be killed immediately." This is right, for it is proper for those who follow the path of justice. || 310 || One day, while listening to the Dharma Shastra from the Muni, the king's chief elephant remembered his previous birth and became very peaceful. He also stopped taking the offering of meat. Seeing this, the Seth, knowing the ways of the world, understood the elephant's intentions and, with wisdom, devised a plan. || 311-312 || He offered the elephant a mixture of ghee, jaggery, milk, and rice. The elephant also accepted this pure food. || 313 || At that time, the king, pleased, said, "Ask for whatever you desire." The Seth said, "Good, I will keep this boon for now, I will take it later." Saying this, the Seth remained happy. || 314 || Seeing him, the Seth was very sad. At that time, the minister's son was being taken to be killed. The Seth, remembering his previous boon, asked the king for it and saved the wicked minister's son from death. || 315 ||
