The king in order to enquire into the matter immediately had the merchant summoned, who said— " I have nothing in my keeping belonging to this lady." Upakośá then said, " I have witnesses, my lord; before he went, my husband put the household gods into a box, and this merchant with his own lips admitted the deposit in their presence. Let the box be brought here and ask the gods yourself." Having heard this the king in astonishment ordered the box to be brought.
