The story runs as follows : A man found, while ploughing, a pot of money. His mother perceiving this from a distance, determined to kill her son and mixed poison with his food ; the son noticing that his mother had seen the treasure and fearing that he would be made to divide it with his brothers, killed her with a blow of the yoke and soon afterwards himself died of the poison. The goddess of money then invited a Brahman, who v was in a neighbouring tree, plucking leaves for platters, and had seen all that had happened, to appropriate the treasure, but he declined to have •anything to do with it. 311. i s5\7p"° •s^o^ln>^s5cS^ > s6^o ^Seio s5\-^r° Vain is the life of a motherless child, so is the prime [ of a woman ] without a husband; penance without quietism is fruitless, so is food without tamarind juice.
