1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,599
De Bushmita. There is a city
in the world famous under the name of

2
00:00:04,719 --> 00:00:09,160
Tamulipta. And in that city there
was a very rich merchant named Danadot,

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,400
And he, being childless, dissembled
many brahmins and said to them, with

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:19,039
due respect, take such steps as
will procure me a sun soon. Then

5
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:24,000
those brahmins said to him, this
is not at all difficult, for brahmins

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,199
can accomplish all things in this world
by means of ceremonies in accordance with the

7
00:00:28,239 --> 00:00:32,560
scriptures. To give you an instance, there was in old times a king

8
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,679
who had no sons, and he
had a hundred five wives in his harem,

9
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,719
and by means of a sacrifice to
procure a son, there was born

10
00:00:40,759 --> 00:00:44,560
to him a son named Jantu,
was like the rising of the new moon

11
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,000
to the eyes of his wives.
Once on a time, an aunt bit

12
00:00:49,039 --> 00:00:53,039
the boy on the thigh as he
was crawling about on his knees, so

13
00:00:53,079 --> 00:00:57,960
that he was very unhappy and sobbed
loudly. Thereupon the whole harem was full

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,880
of confused lamentation, and the king
himself shrieked out, my son, my

15
00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:07,239
son of the common man. The
boy was soon comforted the ant having been

16
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:12,159
removed, and the king blamed the
misfortune of his only having one son as

17
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:17,280
the cause of all his grief,
And he asked the Brahmins in his affliction

18
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,799
if there was any expedient by which
he might obtain a large number of children.

19
00:01:22,359 --> 00:01:26,120
They answered him, O, King, there is one expedient open to

20
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:30,000
you. You must slay this son
and offer up all his flesh in the

21
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,599
fire. By smelling the smell of
that sacrifice, all thy wives will obtain

22
00:01:34,719 --> 00:01:38,519
sons. When he had heard that, the king had the whole ceremony performed

23
00:01:38,519 --> 00:01:42,400
as they directed, and he obtained
as many sons as he had wives.

24
00:01:44,719 --> 00:01:49,560
So we can obtain a son for
you also by a burnt offering. When

25
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,879
they had said this Datadot, the
Brahmins, after a sacrificial fee had been

26
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,599
promised them, performed a sacrifice.
Then a son was born to that merchant.

27
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,359
That son was Guisay, and he
gradually grew up to man's estate.

28
00:02:05,519 --> 00:02:07,800
Then his father, Danadot, began
to look out for a wife for him.

29
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:13,879
Then his father went with that son
of his to another country on the

30
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,199
pretense of traffic, but really to
get a daughter in law. There he

31
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:23,080
asked an excellent merchant of the name
of Dharmagupta to give him his daughter named

32
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:28,400
Davishmita for his son Guisain. But
Dharmagupta, who was tenderly attached to his

33
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,560
daughter, did not approve of that
connection, fletting that the city of Damalpta

34
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:38,919
was very far off. But when
Davshmita beheld that Guisain, her mind was

35
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:44,120
immediately attracted by his virtues, and
she was set on abandoning her relations.

36
00:02:44,479 --> 00:02:49,199
And so she made an assination with
him by means of a confidant, and

37
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,759
went away from that country at night
with her beloved and his father. When

38
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,479
they reached Tamalipta, they were married, and the mind of the young couple

39
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,360
were firmly knit together by the bond
of me to a love. Then Guisain's

40
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:06,280
father died, and he himself was
urged by his relations to go to the

41
00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:10,240
country of Kataha for the purpose of
trafficking. But his wife, Davishmita,

42
00:03:10,439 --> 00:03:15,719
was too jealous to approve of that
expedition, fearing exceedingly that he would be

43
00:03:15,719 --> 00:03:20,199
attracted by some other lady. Then, as his wife did not approve of

44
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,800
it, and his relations kept inciting
him to it, Guisain, whose mind

45
00:03:23,879 --> 00:03:29,960
was firmly set on doing his duty, was bewildered. Then he went and

46
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,840
performed a bow in the temple of
the God, observing a writchid fast,

47
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,400
trusting that the God would show him
some way out of his difficulty, and

48
00:03:38,479 --> 00:03:43,759
his wife, davis Shmita, also
performed a bow with him. Then Shibo

49
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,240
was pleased to appear to that couple
in a dream in giving them two red

50
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:52,520
lotuses. The God said to them, take each of you one of these

51
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:57,199
lotuses in your hand, and if
either of you shall be unfaithful during your

52
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,400
separation, the lotus in the hand
of the other shall fade, but not

53
00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:05,840
otherwise. After hearing this, the
two woke up, and each beheld in

54
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,120
the hand of the other a red
lotus, and it seemed as if they

55
00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:15,240
had got one another's hearts. Then
Guisy set out lotus in hand, but

56
00:04:15,319 --> 00:04:20,120
Davoshmita remained in the house with her
eyes fixed upon the flower. Guisain,

57
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:25,279
for his part, quickly reached the
country of Kataha and began to buy and

58
00:04:25,399 --> 00:04:30,439
sell jewels there. And four young
merchants in that country, seeing that that

59
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:35,680
unbating lotus was ever in his hand, were greatly astonished. Accordingly, they

60
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:40,240
got him to the house by an
artifice, and made him drink a great

61
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,079
deal of wine, and then asked
him the whole story of the lotus,

62
00:04:44,519 --> 00:04:48,240
and he, being intoxicated, told
them the whole story. Then those four

63
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:53,399
young merchants, knowing that Guisain would
take a long time to complete his sales

64
00:04:53,439 --> 00:04:58,519
and purchases of jewels and other wares, planned together, like rascals as they

65
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,839
were, the seduction of him his
wife, out of curiosity and eager to

66
00:05:01,879 --> 00:05:06,639
accomplish it, set up quickly for
Tamarulita, without their departure being noticed.

67
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,600
There they cast about for some instrument, and at last had recourse to a

68
00:05:13,639 --> 00:05:17,120
female ascetic of the name of you, a Karundica, who lived in the

69
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:23,319
sanctuary of Buddha. And they said
to her in an affectionate matter, Reverend

70
00:05:23,319 --> 00:05:27,399
Madam, if our object is accomplished
by your help, we will give you

71
00:05:27,519 --> 00:05:32,079
much wealth. She answered them,
no doubt, you young men desire some

72
00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:36,199
woman in the city, So tell
me all about it. I will procure

73
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,560
you the object of your desire.
But I have no wish for money.

74
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:46,639
I have a pupil of distinguished ability
named Cidkari. Owing to her kindness,

75
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:51,680
I have obtained untold wealth. The
young merchant asked, how have you obtained

76
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:57,480
untold wealth by the assistance of a
pupil. Being asked this question, female

77
00:05:57,519 --> 00:06:00,639
astic said, if you feel any
curiosity city about the matter, listen,

78
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:08,560
my sons, I will tell you
the whole story story of the cunning Civi

79
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:13,759
Khari. Long ago, a certain
merchant came here from the south. While

80
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,399
he was dwelling here, my pupil
went and obtained with a treacherous object the

81
00:06:17,439 --> 00:06:21,600
position of a serving maid in his
house, having first altered her appearance,

82
00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:27,160
And after she had gained the confidence
of that merchant, she stole all his

83
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,279
horde of gold from his house and
went off secretly in the morning twilight.

84
00:06:30,879 --> 00:06:34,560
And as she went out from the
city, moving rapidly through beer, a

85
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:39,800
certain damba with his drum in his
hand, saw her and pursued her at

86
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:45,040
full speed, with the intention of
robbing her. When she had reached the

87
00:06:45,079 --> 00:06:48,079
foot of the Neagrota tree, she
saw that he had come up with her,

88
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:53,279
and so the cunning Civi Khari said
this to him in a plaintive manner,

89
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,360
I have had a jealous quarrel with
my husband and I have left his

90
00:06:57,439 --> 00:07:00,519
house to die. Therefore, my
good man, make a noose for me

91
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:05,360
to hang myself with. Then the
damba thought, let her hang herself.

92
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:10,160
Why should I be guilty of her
death, especially as she is a woman,

93
00:07:10,759 --> 00:07:14,160
and so he fastened a noose for
her to the tree. Then cidi

94
00:07:14,279 --> 00:07:17,720
Kari, feigning in ignorance, said
to the damba, how has the noose

95
00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:24,040
slipped around the neck? Show me
I entreat you. Then the damba placed

96
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,040
the drum under his feet, and
saying this is the way we do the

97
00:07:28,079 --> 00:07:31,360
trick, he fastened the noose around
his own throat. Cidi Kari, for

98
00:07:31,399 --> 00:07:35,680
her part, smashed the drum to
adams with a kick, and that damba

99
00:07:35,839 --> 00:07:41,319
hung till he was dead. At
that moment, the merchant arrived in search

100
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,639
of her and beheld from a distant
Cidikari, who had stolen from him untold

101
00:07:45,639 --> 00:07:49,519
treasures at the foot of the tree. She too saw him coming and climbed

102
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:54,279
up the tree without being noticed,
and remained there on a bough, having

103
00:07:54,319 --> 00:07:58,600
her body concealed by the dense foliage. When the merchant came up with his

104
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,920
servants, he saw that damba hanging
by his neck, but Ceedi Kary was

105
00:08:01,959 --> 00:08:07,319
nowhere to be seen. Immediately,
one of his servants said, I wonder

106
00:08:07,439 --> 00:08:11,720
she has got up this tree,
and proceeded to ascend it himself. Then

107
00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:16,079
Cedi Cary said, I have always
loved you, and now you've climbed up

108
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,240
where I am. So all this
wealth is at your disposal, handsome man,

109
00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:26,560
come and embrace me. So she
embraced the merchant's servant, and as

110
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,839
she was kissing his mouth, she
bit off the fool's tongue. He,

111
00:08:31,279 --> 00:08:35,360
overcome with the pain, fell from
the tree, spitting blood from his mouth,

112
00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:41,720
uttering some indistinct syllables what sounded like
la lallah. When he saw that

113
00:08:41,759 --> 00:08:45,879
the merchant was terrified, and supposing
his servant had been seized by a demon,

114
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,039
he fed from that place and went
to his own house with his attendants.

115
00:08:50,799 --> 00:08:54,200
Then Cedi Kary, the female Asiitic, equally frightened. He sat it

116
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,759
from the top of the tree and
brought home with her all that wealth.

117
00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:03,840
Such a person is my pupil,
distinguished for her great discernment. And it

118
00:09:03,919 --> 00:09:07,200
is in this way, my sons, that I have obtained wealth by her

119
00:09:07,279 --> 00:09:11,120
kindness. When she had said this
to the young merchants, the female ascetic

120
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,480
showed to them her pupil, who
happened to come in at that moment,

121
00:09:16,039 --> 00:09:18,840
and said to them, now,
my sons, tell me the real state

122
00:09:18,879 --> 00:09:22,840
of affairs. What woman do you
desire? I will quickly procure her for

123
00:09:22,919 --> 00:09:28,159
you. When they heard that,
they said, procure us an interview with

124
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:33,399
the wife of the merchant Guisay named
Davashmita. When she heard that, the

125
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,159
astic undertook to manage that business for
them, and she gave those young merchants

126
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,840
her own house to reside in.
Then she gratified the serpents at Guisaine's house

127
00:09:41,919 --> 00:09:46,480
with gifts of sweetmeats and other things, and afterwards entered it with her pupil.

128
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,120
Then, as she approached the private
rooms of Davashmita, a hound that

129
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,639
was fastened there with a chain would
not let her come near, but opposed

130
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:01,519
her entrance in the most determined way. Then davas Shmita, seeing her of

131
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,039
her own accord, sent a maid
and had her brought in, thinking to

132
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:11,000
herself, what can this person be
come for? After she had entered,

133
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:16,919
the wicked astc gave Davishmita her blessing, and treating the virtuous woman with affected

134
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,000
respect, said to her, I
have always had a desire to see you,

135
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,039
but to day I saw you in
a dream. Therefore I have come

136
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,320
to visit you with impatient eagerness,
and my mind is afflicted at beholding you

137
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:33,360
separated from your husband, For beauty
and youth are wasted when one is deprived

138
00:10:33,399 --> 00:10:37,720
of the society of one's beloved.
With this and many other speeches of the

139
00:10:37,759 --> 00:10:41,559
same kind, she tried to gain
the confidence of the virtuous woman in a

140
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:46,759
short interview, and then taking leave
of her, she returned to her own

141
00:10:46,799 --> 00:10:50,000
house. On the second day,
she took with her a piece of meat

142
00:10:50,039 --> 00:10:54,840
full of pepper dust, and she
went again to the house of davis Shmita,

143
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,000
and there she gave that piece of
meat to the hound at the door,

144
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,519
and the hound gubbled it up,
burned all then owing to the pepper

145
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,279
dust. The tears flowed in profusion
from the animal's eyes, and her nose

146
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:13,159
began to run, And the cunning
astic immediately went into the apartment of Davishmita,

147
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:18,320
who received her hospitably and began to
cry. When Davshmita ask her why

148
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,200
she shed tears, she said,
with affected reluctance, my friend, look

149
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,639
at this hound weeping outside. Here, this creature recognized me to day as

150
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:31,639
having been his companion in a former
birth, and began to weep. For

151
00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:37,519
that reason, my tears gushed through
pity. When she heard that and saw

152
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,960
that hound outside apparently weeping, Davishmita
thought for a moment to herself, what

153
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,120
can be the meaning of this wonderful
sight. Then the ascetic said to her,

154
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,159
my daughter, in a former birth, I and that hound were the

155
00:11:50,159 --> 00:11:54,519
two wives of the certain Brahmin,
and her husband frequently went about to other

156
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,759
countries on embassies by order of the
king. Now, while he was away

157
00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:03,639
from home, I lived at my
good will and pleasure, and so did

158
00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:07,120
not cheat the elements of which I
was composed and my senses of their lawful

159
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:13,159
enjoyment, For considerate treatment of the
elements and senses is held to be the

160
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,840
highest duty. Therefore, I have
been born in this birth with a recollection

161
00:12:16,919 --> 00:12:20,879
of my former existence. But she, in her former life, through ignorance,

162
00:12:22,279 --> 00:12:26,600
confined all her attention to the preservation
of her character. Therefore, she

163
00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:30,600
has been degraded and born again as
one of the canine race. However,

164
00:12:30,639 --> 00:12:35,759
she too remembers her former birth the
wise da Vashuida said to herself, this

165
00:12:35,799 --> 00:12:39,559
is a novel conception of duty.
No doubt this woman has laid a treacherous

166
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,960
snare for me. And so she
said to her reverend lady. For this

167
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:48,120
long time I have been ignorant of
this duty. So procure me an interview

168
00:12:48,159 --> 00:12:52,279
with some charming man. Then the
ascetic said, there are residing here some

169
00:12:52,399 --> 00:12:56,799
young merchants that have come from another
country. So I will bring them to

170
00:12:56,879 --> 00:13:01,039
you. When she had said this, the ascetic returned home delighted, and

171
00:13:01,159 --> 00:13:05,320
Davas Shmita, of her own accord, said to her maids, no doubt

172
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:11,159
those scoundrelly young merchants, whoever they
may be, have seen that unfading lotus

173
00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:13,279
in the hands of my husband,
and have, on some occasion or other,

174
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:18,120
when he was drinking wine, asked
him out of curiosity to tell the

175
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,679
whole story of it. And have
now come here from that island to deceive

176
00:13:20,759 --> 00:13:26,799
me. And this wicked acetic is
employed by them. So bring quickly some

177
00:13:26,879 --> 00:13:30,720
wine mixed with dachura, and when
you have brought it, have a dog's

178
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,480
foot of iron made as quickly as
possible. When davis Shmita had given them

179
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,559
orders, the maids executed them faithfully, and one of the maids, by

180
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:45,279
her orders, dressed herself up to
resemble her mistress. The ascetic of her

181
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,639
part chose out of the party of
four members, each of whom, in

182
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,799
his eagerness, said, let me
go first, one individual, and brought

183
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,120
him with her, and, concealing
him in the dress of her pupil,

184
00:13:56,399 --> 00:14:01,480
she introduced him in the evening into
the house that thedevish Mita, and coming

185
00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:07,200
out disappeared. Then that maid,
who was disguised as Davishmta, courteously persuaded

186
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:13,159
the young merchant to drink some of
that wine drugged with the chura that liquor,

187
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,519
with his own immodesty, robbed him
of his senses. And then the

188
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:22,200
maid took away his clothes and other
equipments and left him stark naked. Then

189
00:14:22,279 --> 00:14:26,519
they branded him on the forehead with
the mark of a dog's foot, and

190
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,879
during the night took him and pushed
him into a ditch full of filth.

191
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:35,360
Then he recovered consciousness in the last
watch of the night and found himself plunged

192
00:14:35,399 --> 00:14:39,120
in a ditch as if it were
the hell. A beechy assigned to him

193
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,559
by his sins when he got up
and washed himself and went to the house

194
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,519
of the female asdic in a state
of misery, dealing with his spingers the

195
00:14:46,559 --> 00:14:50,440
mark on his forehead, and when
he got there he told his friends that

196
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,399
he had been robbed on the way
and ordered that he might not be the

197
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,960
only person made ridiculous. And the
next morning he sat with a cloth wrapped

198
00:14:58,039 --> 00:15:03,440
round his branded, giving as an
excuse that he had a headache from keeping

199
00:15:03,519 --> 00:15:07,200
awake so long and drinking too much. In the same way, the next

200
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,440
young merchant was maltreated when he got
to the house of Davishmita, and when

201
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,440
he returned home stripped, he said, I put on my ornaments there and

202
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,120
as I was coming out, I
was plundered by robbers in the morning.

203
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:22,000
He also, on the plea of
a headache, put a wrapper on to

204
00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:26,080
cover his branded forehead. In the
same way, all the four young merchants

205
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:31,840
suffered and churned branding and other humiliating
treatment, though they concealed the fact,

206
00:15:31,279 --> 00:15:35,240
and they went away from the place
without revealing to the female Buddhas asitk the

207
00:15:35,399 --> 00:15:39,399
ill treatment they had experienced, hoping
that she would suffer in a similar way.

208
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,320
On the next day, the assitic
went with her disciple to the house

209
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:48,639
of Davishmita, much delighted at having
accomplished what she undertook to do. Then

210
00:15:48,759 --> 00:15:54,120
Davishmita received her courteously and made her
drink wine drug with the Tourah offered a

211
00:15:54,159 --> 00:15:58,759
sign of gratitude. When she and
her disciple were intoxicated with it, the

212
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,919
chain wife cut off their ears and
noses and flung them also into a filthy

213
00:16:03,919 --> 00:16:07,320
pool. And, being distressed by
the thought of that perhaps these young merchants

214
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,159
might go and slay her husband,
she told the whole circumstance to her mother

215
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:15,639
in law. Then her mother in
law said to her, my daughter,

216
00:16:15,919 --> 00:16:18,759
you have acted nobly, but possibly
some made fortune may happen to my son

217
00:16:18,879 --> 00:16:25,159
in consequence of what you have done. So the wise davis Shmita forthwith put

218
00:16:25,159 --> 00:16:27,360
on the dress of a merchant,
and she embarked on a ship on the

219
00:16:27,399 --> 00:16:32,720
pretense of a mercantile expedition, and
came to the country of Kataha, where

220
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,559
her husband was. And when she
arrived there, she saw that husband of

221
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:41,440
hers Guisayin, in the midst of
a circle of merchants. Like consolation in

222
00:16:41,519 --> 00:16:45,720
external bodily form. He, seeing
her afar off in the dress of a

223
00:16:45,799 --> 00:16:49,720
man as it were, drank her
inn with his eyes and thought to himself,

224
00:16:51,159 --> 00:16:55,799
who made this merchantie that looked so
like my beloved wife. So Davishmita

225
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,720
went and represented to the king that
she had a petition to make, and

226
00:16:59,759 --> 00:17:03,240
asked him to assemble all his subjects. Then the King, full of curiosity,

227
00:17:03,319 --> 00:17:07,480
assembled all his citizens and said to
that lady disguised the merchant, what

228
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:15,119
is your petition. Then Davishmita said, there are residing here in your midst

229
00:17:15,519 --> 00:17:18,599
four slaves of mind who have escaped. Let the King make them over to

230
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,759
me. Then the King said to
her, all the citizens are present here,

231
00:17:23,039 --> 00:17:26,880
so look at every one in order
to recognize them, and take those

232
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,480
slaves with yours. Then she seized
upon the four young merchants, whom she

233
00:17:30,599 --> 00:17:34,680
had before treated in such a humiliating
way in her house, who had rappers

234
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:40,160
bound round their heads. Then the
merchants who were there flew in a passion

235
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,000
and said to her, these are
the sons of distinguished merchants. How can

236
00:17:44,039 --> 00:17:48,000
they be your slaves? And she
answered them, if you do not believe

237
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,559
what I say, examine their foreheads, which I have marked with a dog's

238
00:17:51,559 --> 00:17:56,319
foot. They consented, and removing
the head wrappers of these four, they

239
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,559
all beheld the dog's foot on their
foreheads. Then all the merchants were abashed,

240
00:18:00,839 --> 00:18:04,000
and the king, being astonished himself, asked davish Mita what all this

241
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,920
meant. She told the whole story, and all the people burst out laughing,

242
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,720
and the king said to the lady, they are your slaves by the

243
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:17,839
best of titles. Then the other
merchants paid a large sum of money to

244
00:18:17,839 --> 00:18:21,960
that chaste wife to redeem those four
from slavery, and a fine to the

245
00:18:22,039 --> 00:18:26,839
king's treasury. Davishmita received that money
and recovered her husband, and, being

246
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:32,319
honored by all good men, returned
then to her own city of Tamarlitita,

247
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,440
and she was never afterwards separated from
her beloved
