1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,799
Speaker 1: De Bushmita. There is a city in the world famous

2
00:00:03,879 --> 00:00:07,040
under the name of Tamulipta. And in that city there

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:11,080
was a very rich merchant named Danadot, And he, being childless,

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,119
dissembled many brahmins and said to them, with due respect,

5
00:00:14,919 --> 00:00:17,920
take such steps as will procure me a sun soon.

6
00:00:18,839 --> 00:00:22,239
Then those brahmins said to him, this is not at

7
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,600
all difficult, for brahmins can accomplish all things in this

8
00:00:25,719 --> 00:00:29,039
world by means of ceremonies in accordance with the scriptures.

9
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,200
To give you an instance, there was in old times

10
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,799
a king who had no sons, and he had a

11
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,920
hundred five wives in his harem, and by means of

12
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,799
a sacrifice to procure a son, there was born to

13
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,920
him a son named Jantu, was like the rising of

14
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,159
the new moon to the eyes of his wives. Once

15
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,759
on a time, an aunt bit the boy on the

16
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,039
thigh as he was crawling about on his knees, so

17
00:00:53,079 --> 00:00:57,000
that he was very unhappy and sobbed loudly. Thereupon the

18
00:00:57,039 --> 00:01:00,359
whole harem was full of confused lamentation, and the king

19
00:01:00,479 --> 00:01:04,640
himself shrieked out, my son, my son of the common man.

20
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,760
The boy was soon comforted the ant having been removed,

21
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,120
and the king blamed the misfortune of his only having

22
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,280
one son as the cause of all his grief, And

23
00:01:15,359 --> 00:01:18,120
he asked the Brahmins in his affliction if there was

24
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,280
any expedient by which he might obtain a large number

25
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,120
of children. They answered him, O, King, there is one

26
00:01:25,159 --> 00:01:28,239
expedient open to you. You must slay this son and

27
00:01:28,359 --> 00:01:31,640
offer up all his flesh in the fire. By smelling

28
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,120
the smell of that sacrifice, all thy wives will obtain sons.

29
00:01:36,239 --> 00:01:38,400
When he had heard that, the king had the whole

30
00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:41,920
ceremony performed as they directed, and he obtained as many

31
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,640
sons as he had wives. So we can obtain a

32
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,680
son for you also by a burnt offering. When they

33
00:01:49,719 --> 00:01:53,480
had said this Datadot, the Brahmins, after a sacrificial fee

34
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,319
had been promised them, performed a sacrifice. Then a son

35
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,760
was born to that merchant. That son was Guisay, and

36
00:02:01,879 --> 00:02:06,799
he gradually grew up to man's estate. Then his father, Danadot,

37
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,080
began to look out for a wife for him. Then

38
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,759
his father went with that son of his to another

39
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,400
country on the pretense of traffic, but really to get

40
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,560
a daughter in law. There he asked an excellent merchant

41
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,800
of the name of Dharmagupta to give him his daughter

42
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:27,240
named Davishmita for his son Guisain. But Dharmagupta, who was

43
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,639
tenderly attached to his daughter, did not approve of that connection,

44
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,680
fletting that the city of Damalpta was very far off.

45
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:39,520
But when Davshmita beheld that Guisain, her mind was immediately

46
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,039
attracted by his virtues, and she was set on abandoning

47
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,280
her relations. And so she made an assination with him

48
00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:50,080
by means of a confidant, and went away from that

49
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:53,759
country at night with her beloved and his father. When

50
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,840
they reached Tamalipta, they were married, and the mind of

51
00:02:56,879 --> 00:02:59,599
the young couple were firmly knit together by the bond

52
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,439
of me to a love. Then Guisain's father died, and

53
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,159
he himself was urged by his relations to go to

54
00:03:06,199 --> 00:03:10,000
the country of Kataha for the purpose of trafficking. But

55
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,639
his wife, Davishmita, was too jealous to approve of that expedition,

56
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:18,319
fearing exceedingly that he would be attracted by some other lady. Then,

57
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,960
as his wife did not approve of it, and his

58
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,960
relations kept inciting him to it, Guisain, whose mind was

59
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,439
firmly set on doing his duty, was bewildered. Then he

60
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,919
went and performed a bow in the temple of the God,

61
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,840
observing a writchid fast, trusting that the God would show

62
00:03:35,919 --> 00:03:40,000
him some way out of his difficulty, and his wife,

63
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,759
davis Shmita, also performed a bow with him. Then Shibo

64
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,159
was pleased to appear to that couple in a dream

65
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,960
in giving them two red lotuses. The God said to them,

66
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,879
take each of you one of these lotuses in your hand,

67
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,759
and if either of you shall be unfaithful during your separation,

68
00:03:58,199 --> 00:04:00,719
the lotus in the hand of the other shall fade,

69
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,400
but not otherwise. After hearing this, the two woke up,

70
00:04:05,719 --> 00:04:07,879
and each beheld in the hand of the other a

71
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,520
red lotus, and it seemed as if they had got

72
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,759
one another's hearts. Then Guisy set out lotus in hand,

73
00:04:15,159 --> 00:04:17,920
but Davoshmita remained in the house with her eyes fixed

74
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,959
upon the flower. Guisain, for his part, quickly reached the

75
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,439
country of Kataha and began to buy and sell jewels there.

76
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,439
And four young merchants in that country, seeing that that

77
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:36,240
unbating lotus was ever in his hand, were greatly astonished. Accordingly,

78
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,959
they got him to the house by an artifice, and

79
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,680
made him drink a great deal of wine, and then

80
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:44,759
asked him the whole story of the lotus, and he,

81
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,240
being intoxicated, told them the whole story. Then those four

82
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,319
young merchants, knowing that Guisain would take a long time

83
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,639
to complete his sales and purchases of jewels and other wares,

84
00:04:56,079 --> 00:04:59,759
planned together, like rascals as they were, the seduction of

85
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,560
him his wife, out of curiosity and eager to accomplish it,

86
00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:07,639
set up quickly for Tamarulita, without their departure being noticed.

87
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,600
There they cast about for some instrument, and at last

88
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,959
had recourse to a female ascetic of the name of you,

89
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,000
a Karundica, who lived in the sanctuary of Buddha. And

90
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,720
they said to her in an affectionate matter, Reverend Madam,

91
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,040
if our object is accomplished by your help, we will

92
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:32,000
give you much wealth. She answered them, no doubt, you

93
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,000
young men desire some woman in the city, So tell

94
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,000
me all about it. I will procure you the object

95
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,560
of your desire. But I have no wish for money.

96
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,600
I have a pupil of distinguished ability named Cidkari. Owing

97
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,959
to her kindness, I have obtained untold wealth. The young

98
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,800
merchant asked, how have you obtained untold wealth by the

99
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:58,279
assistance of a pupil. Being asked this question, female astic said,

100
00:05:58,759 --> 00:06:01,639
if you feel any curiosity city about the matter, listen,

101
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:07,240
my sons, I will tell you the whole story story

102
00:06:07,399 --> 00:06:11,839
of the cunning Civi Khari. Long ago, a certain merchant

103
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,800
came here from the south. While he was dwelling here,

104
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,399
my pupil went and obtained with a treacherous object the

105
00:06:18,439 --> 00:06:21,480
position of a serving maid in his house, having first

106
00:06:21,519 --> 00:06:24,879
altered her appearance, And after she had gained the confidence

107
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,920
of that merchant, she stole all his horde of gold

108
00:06:27,959 --> 00:06:31,279
from his house and went off secretly in the morning twilight.

109
00:06:31,879 --> 00:06:34,240
And as she went out from the city, moving rapidly

110
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,839
through beer, a certain damba with his drum in his hand,

111
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,240
saw her and pursued her at full speed, with the

112
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,480
intention of robbing her. When she had reached the foot

113
00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:48,560
of the Neagrota tree, she saw that he had come

114
00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:51,360
up with her, and so the cunning Civi Khari said

115
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,360
this to him in a plaintive manner, I have had

116
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,279
a jealous quarrel with my husband and I have left

117
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,839
his house to die. Therefore, my good man, make a

118
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,759
noose for me to hang myself with. Then the damba thought,

119
00:07:05,079 --> 00:07:07,920
let her hang herself. Why should I be guilty of

120
00:07:07,959 --> 00:07:11,000
her death, especially as she is a woman, and so

121
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,720
he fastened a noose for her to the tree. Then

122
00:07:13,879 --> 00:07:18,079
cidi Kari, feigning in ignorance, said to the damba, how

123
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,000
has the noose slipped around the neck? Show me I

124
00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:25,480
entreat you. Then the damba placed the drum under his feet,

125
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,319
and saying this is the way we do the trick,

126
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,199
he fastened the noose around his own throat. Cidi Kari,

127
00:07:32,279 --> 00:07:35,360
for her part, smashed the drum to adams with a kick,

128
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,720
and that damba hung till he was dead. At that moment,

129
00:07:40,079 --> 00:07:42,800
the merchant arrived in search of her and beheld from

130
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,160
a distant Cidikari, who had stolen from him untold treasures

131
00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:49,160
at the foot of the tree. She too saw him

132
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,560
coming and climbed up the tree without being noticed, and

133
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,480
remained there on a bough, having her body concealed by

134
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,160
the dense foliage. When the merchant came up with his servants,

135
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,360
he saw that damba hanging by his neck, but Ceedi

136
00:08:02,439 --> 00:08:06,360
Kary was nowhere to be seen. Immediately, one of his

137
00:08:06,399 --> 00:08:09,720
servants said, I wonder she has got up this tree,

138
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,759
and proceeded to ascend it himself. Then Cedi Cary said,

139
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,079
I have always loved you, and now you've climbed up

140
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,240
where I am. So all this wealth is at your disposal,

141
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:25,000
handsome man, come and embrace me. So she embraced the

142
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,120
merchant's servant, and as she was kissing his mouth, she

143
00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:32,320
bit off the fool's tongue. He, overcome with the pain,

144
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,240
fell from the tree, spitting blood from his mouth, uttering

145
00:08:36,279 --> 00:08:40,840
some indistinct syllables what sounded like la lallah. When he

146
00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:44,440
saw that the merchant was terrified, and supposing his servant

147
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,000
had been seized by a demon, he fed from that

148
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,039
place and went to his own house with his attendants.

149
00:08:50,799 --> 00:08:55,120
Then Cedi Kary, the female Asiitic, equally frightened. He sat

150
00:08:55,159 --> 00:08:57,200
it from the top of the tree and brought home

151
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,000
with her all that wealth. Such a person is my pupil,

152
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,679
distinguished for her great discernment. And it is in this way,

153
00:09:04,759 --> 00:09:08,399
my sons, that I have obtained wealth by her kindness.

154
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,279
When she had said this to the young merchants, the

155
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,960
female ascetic showed to them her pupil, who happened to

156
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,799
come in at that moment, and said to them, now,

157
00:09:17,879 --> 00:09:21,039
my sons, tell me the real state of affairs. What

158
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,000
woman do you desire? I will quickly procure her for you.

159
00:09:24,919 --> 00:09:28,080
When they heard that, they said, procure us an interview

160
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:32,360
with the wife of the merchant Guisay named Davashmita. When

161
00:09:32,399 --> 00:09:35,879
she heard that, the astic undertook to manage that business

162
00:09:35,879 --> 00:09:38,559
for them, and she gave those young merchants her own

163
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,960
house to reside in. Then she gratified the serpents at

164
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,519
Guisaine's house with gifts of sweetmeats and other things, and

165
00:09:45,639 --> 00:09:49,480
afterwards entered it with her pupil. Then, as she approached

166
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,759
the private rooms of Davashmita, a hound that was fastened

167
00:09:52,759 --> 00:09:54,960
there with a chain would not let her come near,

168
00:09:56,039 --> 00:10:00,720
but opposed her entrance in the most determined way. Then

169
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,879
davas Shmita, seeing her of her own accord, sent a

170
00:10:03,919 --> 00:10:07,279
maid and had her brought in, thinking to herself, what

171
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,000
can this person be come for? After she had entered,

172
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,480
the wicked astc gave Davishmita her blessing, and treating the

173
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,360
virtuous woman with affected respect, said to her, I have

174
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,840
always had a desire to see you, but to day

175
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,039
I saw you in a dream. Therefore I have come

176
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,039
to visit you with impatient eagerness, and my mind is

177
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,759
afflicted at beholding you separated from your husband, For beauty

178
00:10:31,879 --> 00:10:34,559
and youth are wasted when one is deprived of the

179
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,519
society of one's beloved. With this and many other speeches

180
00:10:38,519 --> 00:10:41,240
of the same kind, she tried to gain the confidence

181
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,120
of the virtuous woman in a short interview, and then

182
00:10:44,399 --> 00:10:47,120
taking leave of her, she returned to her own house.

183
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,600
On the second day, she took with her a piece

184
00:10:50,639 --> 00:10:53,480
of meat full of pepper dust, and she went again

185
00:10:53,519 --> 00:10:56,120
to the house of davis Shmita, and there she gave

186
00:10:56,159 --> 00:10:58,000
that piece of meat to the hound at the door,

187
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,080
and the hound gubbled it up, burned all then owing

188
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,120
to the pepper dust. The tears flowed in profusion from

189
00:11:06,159 --> 00:11:09,559
the animal's eyes, and her nose began to run, And

190
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,159
the cunning astic immediately went into the apartment of Davishmita,

191
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,639
who received her hospitably and began to cry. When Davshmita

192
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,279
ask her why she shed tears, she said, with affected reluctance,

193
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,639
my friend, look at this hound weeping outside. Here, this

194
00:11:25,759 --> 00:11:28,840
creature recognized me to day as having been his companion

195
00:11:28,919 --> 00:11:32,360
in a former birth, and began to weep. For that reason,

196
00:11:32,759 --> 00:11:37,240
my tears gushed through pity. When she heard that and

197
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:41,279
saw that hound outside apparently weeping, Davishmita thought for a

198
00:11:41,279 --> 00:11:44,000
moment to herself, what can be the meaning of this

199
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,279
wonderful sight. Then the ascetic said to her, my daughter,

200
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,159
in a former birth, I and that hound were the

201
00:11:51,159 --> 00:11:54,639
two wives of the certain Brahmin, and her husband frequently

202
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,360
went about to other countries on embassies by order of

203
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,960
the king. Now, while he was away from home, I

204
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,639
lived at my good will and pleasure, and so did

205
00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:06,600
not cheat the elements of which I was composed and

206
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,879
my senses of their lawful enjoyment, For considerate treatment of

207
00:12:10,879 --> 00:12:15,080
the elements and senses is held to be the highest duty. Therefore,

208
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,840
I have been born in this birth with a recollection

209
00:12:17,919 --> 00:12:21,240
of my former existence. But she, in her former life,

210
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,919
through ignorance, confined all her attention to the preservation of

211
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,200
her character. Therefore, she has been degraded and born again

212
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,559
as one of the canine race. However, she too remembers

213
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,120
her former birth the wise da Vashuida said to herself,

214
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,200
this is a novel conception of duty. No doubt this

215
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,720
woman has laid a treacherous snare for me. And so

216
00:12:40,879 --> 00:12:44,600
she said to her reverend lady. For this long time

217
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,519
I have been ignorant of this duty. So procure me

218
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,440
an interview with some charming man. Then the ascetic said,

219
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,600
there are residing here some young merchants that have come

220
00:12:54,639 --> 00:12:57,039
from another country. So I will bring them to you.

221
00:12:57,879 --> 00:13:01,759
When she had said this, the ascetic returned home delighted,

222
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,039
and Davas Shmita, of her own accord, said to her maids,

223
00:13:05,799 --> 00:13:09,080
no doubt those scoundrelly young merchants, whoever they may be,

224
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,279
have seen that unfading lotus in the hands of my husband,

225
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,039
and have, on some occasion or other, when he was

226
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,120
drinking wine, asked him out of curiosity to tell the

227
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,559
whole story of it. And have now come here from

228
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,279
that island to deceive me. And this wicked acetic is

229
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,320
employed by them. So bring quickly some wine mixed with dachura,

230
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,960
and when you have brought it, have a dog's foot

231
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,879
of iron made as quickly as possible. When davis Shmita

232
00:13:35,919 --> 00:13:39,559
had given them orders, the maids executed them faithfully, and

233
00:13:39,639 --> 00:13:42,399
one of the maids, by her orders, dressed herself up

234
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,559
to resemble her mistress. The ascetic of her part chose

235
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,559
out of the party of four members, each of whom,

236
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,320
in his eagerness, said, let me go first, one individual,

237
00:13:53,399 --> 00:13:56,159
and brought him with her, and, concealing him in the

238
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,039
dress of her pupil, she introduced him in the evening

239
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,559
into the house that thedevish Mita, and coming out disappeared.

240
00:14:03,799 --> 00:14:08,200
Then that maid, who was disguised as Davishmta, courteously persuaded

241
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,919
the young merchant to drink some of that wine drugged

242
00:14:10,919 --> 00:14:15,519
with the chura that liquor, with his own immodesty, robbed

243
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,320
him of his senses. And then the maid took away

244
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,159
his clothes and other equipments and left him stark naked.

245
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,120
Then they branded him on the forehead with the mark

246
00:14:25,159 --> 00:14:27,840
of a dog's foot, and during the night took him

247
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,039
and pushed him into a ditch full of filth. Then

248
00:14:31,159 --> 00:14:33,759
he recovered consciousness in the last watch of the night

249
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,080
and found himself plunged in a ditch as if it

250
00:14:37,159 --> 00:14:39,440
were the hell. A beechy assigned to him by his

251
00:14:39,519 --> 00:14:43,120
sins when he got up and washed himself and went

252
00:14:43,159 --> 00:14:45,320
to the house of the female asdic in a state

253
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,519
of misery, dealing with his spingers the mark on his forehead,

254
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,440
and when he got there he told his friends that

255
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,600
he had been robbed on the way and ordered that

256
00:14:53,639 --> 00:14:56,840
he might not be the only person made ridiculous. And

257
00:14:56,919 --> 00:14:59,279
the next morning he sat with a cloth wrapped round

258
00:14:59,279 --> 00:15:02,639
his branded, giving as an excuse that he had a

259
00:15:02,639 --> 00:15:05,519
headache from keeping awake so long and drinking too much.

260
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,960
In the same way, the next young merchant was maltreated

261
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,440
when he got to the house of Davishmita, and when

262
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,120
he returned home stripped, he said, I put on my

263
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,759
ornaments there and as I was coming out, I was

264
00:15:16,799 --> 00:15:20,080
plundered by robbers in the morning. He also, on the

265
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,240
plea of a headache, put a wrapper on to cover

266
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,440
his branded forehead. In the same way, all the four

267
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,919
young merchants suffered and churned branding and other humiliating treatment,

268
00:15:30,279 --> 00:15:33,320
though they concealed the fact, and they went away from

269
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,240
the place without revealing to the female Buddhas asitk the

270
00:15:36,399 --> 00:15:39,519
ill treatment they had experienced, hoping that she would suffer

271
00:15:39,559 --> 00:15:42,840
in a similar way. On the next day, the assitic

272
00:15:42,919 --> 00:15:45,759
went with her disciple to the house of Davishmita, much

273
00:15:45,799 --> 00:15:49,639
delighted at having accomplished what she undertook to do. Then

274
00:15:49,759 --> 00:15:53,440
Davishmita received her courteously and made her drink wine drug

275
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,200
with the Tourah offered a sign of gratitude. When she

276
00:15:57,279 --> 00:16:00,519
and her disciple were intoxicated with it, the chain wife

277
00:16:00,519 --> 00:16:03,039
cut off their ears and noses and flung them also

278
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,159
into a filthy pool. And, being distressed by the thought

279
00:16:06,159 --> 00:16:09,240
of that perhaps these young merchants might go and slay

280
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,159
her husband, she told the whole circumstance to her mother

281
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,679
in law. Then her mother in law said to her,

282
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,279
my daughter, you have acted nobly, but possibly some made

283
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,960
fortune may happen to my son in consequence of what

284
00:16:21,039 --> 00:16:25,159
you have done. So the wise davis Shmita forthwith put

285
00:16:25,159 --> 00:16:27,480
on the dress of a merchant, and she embarked on

286
00:16:27,519 --> 00:16:30,879
a ship on the pretense of a mercantile expedition, and

287
00:16:30,919 --> 00:16:33,480
came to the country of Kataha, where her husband was.

288
00:16:33,879 --> 00:16:36,559
And when she arrived there, she saw that husband of

289
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,879
hers Guisayin, in the midst of a circle of merchants.

290
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:45,799
Like consolation in external bodily form. He, seeing her afar

291
00:16:45,879 --> 00:16:47,840
off in the dress of a man as it were,

292
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,720
drank her inn with his eyes and thought to himself,

293
00:16:51,159 --> 00:16:54,039
who made this merchantie that looked so like my beloved wife.

294
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,320
So Davishmita went and represented to the king that she

295
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,840
had a petition to make, and asked him to assemble

296
00:17:00,879 --> 00:17:04,839
all his subjects. Then the King, full of curiosity, assembled

297
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,039
all his citizens and said to that lady disguised the merchant,

298
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:14,200
what is your petition. Then Davishmita said, there are residing

299
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,440
here in your midst four slaves of mind who have escaped.

300
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,559
Let the King make them over to me. Then the

301
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,759
King said to her, all the citizens are present here,

302
00:17:24,039 --> 00:17:26,240
so look at every one in order to recognize them,

303
00:17:26,319 --> 00:17:29,440
and take those slaves with yours. Then she seized upon

304
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,680
the four young merchants, whom she had before treated in

305
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,680
such a humiliating way in her house, who had rappers

306
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,960
bound round their heads. Then the merchants who were there

307
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,640
flew in a passion and said to her, these are

308
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,200
the sons of distinguished merchants. How can they be your slaves?

309
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,079
And she answered them, if you do not believe what

310
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,079
I say, examine their foreheads, which I have marked with

311
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:55,200
a dog's foot. They consented, and removing the head wrappers

312
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,759
of these four, they all beheld the dog's foot on

313
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,400
their foreheads. Then all the merchants were abashed, and the king,

314
00:18:01,759 --> 00:18:05,440
being astonished himself, asked davish Mita what all this meant.

315
00:18:05,839 --> 00:18:08,359
She told the whole story, and all the people burst

316
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,359
out laughing, and the king said to the lady, they

317
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,759
are your slaves by the best of titles. Then the

318
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,880
other merchants paid a large sum of money to that

319
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,400
chaste wife to redeem those four from slavery, and a

320
00:18:21,519 --> 00:18:26,039
fine to the king's treasury. Davishmita received that money and

321
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,160
recovered her husband, and, being honored by all good men,

322
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,920
returned then to her own city of Tamarlitita, and she

323
00:18:33,039 --> 00:18:35,440
was never afterwards separated from her beloved
