### [264.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.264.5)

A traveller arrived at this place, and rested in the village. Next morning he missed a bundle containing the best of what he had. He noticed before the door where he had slept some footprints of dogs. He took up the trace, and, following these marks, went on till he got to the foot of the mountain. He noticed that caught in the thorns were pieces of torn cloth, and he continued by this route, and with great difficulty guiding himself by the marks left, he arrived at the highest point, where he found a large and very ancient temple partly in ruins. He saw there some dogs and many destroyed bundles. Along with his own things lay torn silk cloth, calico all in pieces, much coin in gold and silver, chains, jewels, rings, pearls, and precious stones. The complainant said that they had been stolen by the dogs, and that no one knew it. Profiting by the occasion, in complete silence he gathered up the best of the valuables, and set out for his home. Thus things go in this world ; one man collects with the sweat of his brow, and others eat without having laboured, and he to whom God wishes to give never fails in resources.
