The monkey promptly vomited the various amounts separately without making any mistake. Sundarī and her mother Makarakaṭī were naturally amazed at the marvellous performance of the monkey. Īśvaravarmā explained that the monkey was capable of giving in this way, 1,000 Niṣkas daily. Sundarī made up her mind to purchase the wonderful animal at any price. She requested Īśvaravarmā to give her the monkey in exchange for the crores of Niṣkas she had taken from him earlier. But he turned down her request. At last she persuaded him to sell the monkey to her for the entire wealth she possessed. Īśvaravarmā secretly made the monkey swallow 2,000 Niṣkas before handing it over to Sundarī and left the place at once to go to Svarṇadvipa for trade.
