________________ * "My son ! take a vow. If you cut wood, you should cut only sandalwood. Yon may have to search the whole forest for sandalwood; or you may have to return with empty hands in the evening; or you may have to sleep hungry at night, but do not cut wood other then sandalwood.” Matisagar took a vow to do as his father suggested. He started searching for and cutting sandalwood only. If he did not get sapdalwood on any day, he returned with empty hands on that day. After so persuading his son, the minister Subudhdhi went to Prince Haridatt. He asked after his well-being and then said to the prince. "Prince ! You make one change in the act of catching animals. Whenever you catch them, catch only white elephants or their cubs. Do not catch any other animal.”
