They took their food and were satisfied. A few days passed in this way and then Śubhadatta began to think of his family. The Yakṣas understood that he was longing to return home. So they allowed him to go after getting whatever boon he wished to ask them. Śubhadatta asked for that magic pot which would supply whatever he wanted.
