"You are the storekeeper and treasurer of the family henceforth.”
Last came Rohini.
On being asked about the grains of rice she replied,
"Father, you will have to call for carts and wagons. I had sown and reaped and harvested the grains of rice year after year and stored them in numerous earthen pots.'
The carts and wagons were despatched and they returned full of rice.
On seeing such a large quantity of rice grown out of five grains Dhanya's happiness knew no bounds. He blessed Rohini and said,
"Your efforts combined with sincerity and perseverence has indeed enhanced our family's welfare. So, henceforth, you will solely be responsible for the affairs of the family."
Rohini was applauded by all those present and even the citizens of the town came forward to congratulate her and offer their best wishes.
