4.28
"At that time, Kalyāṇamitra called out to his younger brother Pāpamitra: 'A thief has pierced both my eyes here and taken the treasure pearl away!' But Pāpamitra did not answer. The elder brother then grieved: 'It seems my younger brother Pāpamitra has been killed by the thief.' As he cried out aloud in this way, his voice moved the deities, yet for a long time there was no answer. Then a tree spirit called out, saying: 'Your younger brother Pāpamitra is your evil thief! He pierced both your eyes and took the treasure pearl away. Why are you calling for Pāpamitra now?' When Prince Kalyāṇamitra heard these words, he choked with despondency and was consumed by grief and distress.
