'I am also your professional brother. I will tell you about your companion later. First do me a little favour.'
The thieves asked what type of work it was. Mahabal replied :
“The Wooden box which is lying here has to be taken near the town. If has to be kept fifty yards far from the Royal Gate, on its western side.' :
The thieves did their job as directed, Then Mahabal said :
Your colleague had broken the lock of your box and he had taken out of it all the goods. He prepared a boat from the wood of the box and then he ran away by the river-route.'
The thieves went in search of him.
