Vikramaditya again pulled down Vetaal and hold him on his shoulder.Vetaal opened his eyes and started telling him story :In Magadh State there lived a religious Brahmin.He had two sons.The Elder son was expert in judging things by touch,he could smell and tell what is inside a Treasury,he used to earn his bread and butter by smelling the ground and telling which treasure is hidden inside,People come and take him with them,fees was given to him by them for telling this.He never failed ,he used to tell where water could be found and where well should be dug.Would the water worth drinking or not.
The Younger son was expert in judging ladies.Just after looking any woman he could say which virtues she have,so for marriages people used to call him when they want to get married or arrange their sons or daughters marriages.It was very good source of earning for him.Both the brothers had very good smelling power.
The Bramhin was about to die.The “Vaidya”{Doctor} who was doing treatment asked them to bring a tortoise for treatment,but they denied because of smell,they sent a servant,but there was an argument between him and the tortoise owner,and soldiers caught him.both the boys went to rescue him from soldiers custody ,the king saw and asked,”your father is ill why didn’t you bring the tortoise?They said,”Because of its smell.”The King got surprised,he said”We will do arrangements for your father’s treatment,you stay here in do your services for us.Both the boys agreed ,very soon the Brahmin came out of the illness,both the boys were doing services for the king.One day two persons came to the court fighting for a precious garland.Each of them was saying the Garland is his.They were showing proofs.The King asked those boys ,”To the Judgement”Both the brothers smelled their hands first then the garland and decided,”The Garland belongs to tha fat man”The Fat man screamed with joy” Correct ! Right judgement !The second one agreed.The King asked him “Why were you authorising it “Both of them said”We have heard about the talent of these boys so we have just came here to test them.”The King became happy.Once a beautiful Prostitute came in that state,the King asked those boys to tell him how she is.Both of them went to her,the elder son got attracted towards her,she attracted as well,they talked and came back.How is she ? asked the king.She is extremely beautiful and what about virtues ? She is simple,good character,She is a cross breed,her father is a Bramhin and mother is Shudra so no body is ready to get married with her.The king appointed as main dancer of his court.She was surprised to know that everything about her is known to him,she asked how ?the king described ,her love towards the Bramhin’s elder son increased,she invited him to her own place,They spent some happy time together.”He then said,”Something is hurting me,there is a hair inside this quilt,She asked her maid and found really a hair.”She was surprised,and her love increased.They were happy.
Vetaal : Who was better the Elder son or the Younger ?
Vikramaditya said,”There is no limit of knowledge.
Vetaal: Why he got hurt by the hair,and how did he know.
Vikramaditya :Because of smell,may be that was any wild animal’s hair and the boy could smell it.
Vetaal agreed ,laughed ,and flew away.
