The paramour of his wife went to him a few days later and purchased the property at a heavy price. But, when he dug up the place no treasure was found. Then he wanted to sell back the property to Devadāsa himself, but he refused to purchase it. The case was taken before the King when Devadāsa detailed the whole story. And, as ordered by the King, Devadāsa disfigured his wife and wedded another wife.
