In the house of Lîlâvatî used to live a Śûdra servant, named Sauṇḍa, goldsmith by profession, who was very clever. He had made beautiful golden trees and images of Devas, with faith, and with marked skill, and did not charge anything for his labour. He never charged any wages. He thought that these were all meant for religious purposes.—24-25.
