After reaching the royal court, all the three complainants made their statements. They requested the king to punish the accused for the offences he had committed.
The king asked the accused, if he would like to say anything in self-defence.
The accused admitted his crime.
However, the Minister-in-charge submitted the following decision :
He asked the owner of the bullocks to take out his eyes and give them to the farmer, then he would return his bullocks. He asked the horseman to take out his tongue and give it to the accused, then he would give back his horse. He asked the acrobats, "The accused will be punished but before that one of you will lie down under the tree, and any one of you, tying a rope round neck, should be
prepared to suspend himself from the tree." The accused was let off.
