"I have no need of this amount anymore, Oh merchant! By the grace of god everything went right."
JAIN JOURNAL
"Your Excellency! What you are saying ?" replied Sakaria in distress. "I have kept this separately for religious purpose. I cannot take it back. It belongs to you."
"Sajan shall not accept wealth."
"Sakaria shall not take back the wealth once given."
At last a way was found. A beautiful garland was made of those precious stones and was placed on the neck of Lord Neminatha.
