The first is that of a soldier who took wrongfully the slave-girl of a Hindu clerk. The latter brought a complaint before the courts. The soldier said the slave-girl was his, and so likewise said the girl herself, as she wanted to live with the soldier. The charge was transferred to the king's tribunal, and he ordered the slave-girl to be placed in his palace. When he wanted to write he directed the girl to pour a little water into the inkstand, and this she did most dexterously. This proved to the king that she was the slave of the scribe, and not of the soldier ; thus he decreed that the girl should be made over to the scribe, from whom she had learnt how to pour water into an inkpot. The soldier was expelled from the service and banished the country. - [Previous: 65.6.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.6.1) - [Next: 65.6.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.6.3) - [Up: 65.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.6.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.6.2) · Pramāṇa
