He had three daughters: Nandā, Nandavatī and Sundarinandā. After death he was born as a golden goose, and, remembering his past birth, he flew to where his wife and daughters lived and gave one of his golden feathers. This happened several times, till at last his wife planned to pull out all his feathers. Now the feathers taken from a golden goose, against his wish, cease to be golden and become like the feathers of a crane. The woman discovered this when she had pulled out all his feathers, so she flung him into a barrel and fed him there. Later white feathers grew on him, and he flew away never to return. - [Previous: v2.c36.4710](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.4710) - [Next: v2.c36.4712](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.4712) - [Up: v2.c36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.4711](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.4711) · Pramāṇa
