CHAPTER IX
Whenmeritorious deeds are on the rise the personis not only favoured with all pleasures, but in this state,all unfavourable things and situations become favourable for him. An example is given to support the above statement.
An experienced Astrologer told to a man that time and luck were now in his favour. To test if good time was really favouring him, the man went straight to the king and slapped him on his face. The king's crown fell down. Seeing this the body-guards ordered the soldiers to put the man in chains and said that he shall be punished for slapping the king. But the king ordered the man to be rewarded worth one lakh rupees and released immediately. By slapping the king the man had saved the king's life, because a young one of a snake lay hidden under the Crown which the king did not notice while wearing the Crown. As soon as the Crown fell,the snake was seen crawling on the ground. If the man had not slapped the king, The king would have been bitten by the snake. Hence the man was highly rewarded and the man went home happily
When the sun rises people pray to him and bow down in reverence in the morning. But when the sun sets no one is bothered about its whereabouts. Similarly if fortune and luck favour a person, people will respect him and care for him but if he were to become bankrupt than in his bad time no one will ever talk to him and his good friends also will cease to be his friends anymore.
