Prakrit Proper Names (Āgamic Index I) v1.c5.576

- **Language:** English

### [v1.c5.576](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mehta-chandra-1970.v1.c5.576)

Once a ring belonging to the king fell into a dry well. An announcement was made to the effect that the person taking out the ring with his own hand but without using any instrument would be highly rewarded. None else but Abhaa could do the job. He threw some fresh cow-dung on the ring. After a day or two when it got dry the well was filled up with water. Consequently the cow dung enveloping the ring came up on the surface of the water. Abhaa took it away with his hand and handed it over to the king.
