When he was about to go to the market to buy honey, his wife said "There is no need to buy honey. I will show you a large honey-comb." She took the weaver to the Jaal tree thicket and pointed at the honey-comb. The weaver 卐 saw the honey-comb and also carefully inspected the solitary place. With the help of his Autpattiki Buddhi he took no time to understand that there was no reason for her wife to come to this forlorn place and be familiar with it, but that she was in love with some person and this was there secret meeting place. 卐 2. The Ring-In a town there lived a priest who was famous as a truthful and upright person. Hearing of his fame, once a labour came to him and deposited all his wealth amounting to one thousand gold coins in a bag and left the town in search of work. After a long period he returned and came to the priest to take back his bag of gold coins. The priest refused to recognise him and said "Who are you? What deposit you are talking about?" ב כ The labour was taken aback. Losing all his hard earned wealth made him insane. He started roaming around on the main street of the town uttering-"My bag of one thousand gold coins!" One day he came across the prime minister of the kingdom. Taking him to be the priest he asked "O revered one, please give me back my bag of one thousand gold coins I deposited with you." Seeing his condition the minister at once understood that there was something black at the bottom. He reassured the labour and took him along to the king. When the king heard the story of the labour he summoned the priest. When the priest came to the court, the king asked "Great Brahman, why don't you return the deposit this man made with you ?" The priest offered the same reply to the king "Sire! I don't even know this person, neither do I have any deposit from him." When the priest left, the king asked the labour to tell his story in detail. Collecting his wits the labour told in details the size and colour of his bag; the date on which he had deposited it with the priest; and even where the priest had kept it after accepting. A few days later finding an opportune moment, the king called the priest for a game of chess. While the priest was engrossed in the मतिज्ञान ( औत्पत्तिकी बुद्धि ) ( २०९ ).
