The king became confused. He asked Rohak-“What did you decide ?"
“As long as a part of the edge does not dry, both are equal.” After giving this reply Rohak went back to sleep.
13. The Squirrel-During the fourth quarter of the night the king once again called “Rohak, What are you thinking about ?"
"Sire, the tail of a squirrel is larger than its body or smaller ?" “What do you think ?" “Sire, both are equal.”
14. Five Fathers—The night ended. At dawn the sound of 4 auspicious music woke the king but Rohak was still in deep sleep. He 41 I did not awake even when the king called. The king then goaded him
with his stick. When Rohak opened his eyes the king asked—“Say Rohak ! What are you thinking now ?"
“Sire, I was thinking how many fathers you have ?"
This loose statement first infuriated the king. But as he had faith 4 in Rohak's wisdom he composed himself and asked—“You tell me, how many fathers I have ?"
Rohak became serious and said "Sire ! You have five fathers." The king uttered with surprise“What ? Tell me how ?”
Rohak replied—“First is Kuber (the god of wealth) because you are as magnanimous as Kuber. The second is chandal (the keeper of a crematorium) because for your enemies you are as cruel as a chandal.
The third is washer-man because as a washer-man squeezes all water 45 from the clothes so you do squeeze everything out of a traitor of the 41 kingdom or the country. The fourth is a scorpion because just as a $ scorpion causes pain by its sting, you have caused pain to me by
goading with a stick. And your fifth father is your real father, the late
king, because like him you are benevolently and justly ruling over 5 4 your subjects and the kingdom.” मतिज्ञान (औत्पत्तिकी बुद्धि)
