This way he acquired complete knowledge of $ the subject to become an accomplished water diviner. 49 Once a villager took him to his farm and asked where to dig for a $i well. The water diviner applied all his skill and marked the right spot. He also told the farmer about the depth at which water will be available. The farmer dug a well accordingly but no water oozed out. 4 He again went to the water diviner, who came to the farm and inspected the well carefully.

The king announced that if there was any experienced old person in the army his suggestion was solicited. Luckily an elderly soldier, disguised as a young man, had joined the army.
