FURTHER READING

In a storm a tiger, a monkey, a snake, and a goldsmith are swept into a well. Fortunately, a priest named Dharmaswami comes across the well and rescues them. The animals caution the priest against aiding the goldsmith, attributing their misfortune to him. Despite the advice, Dharmaswami, as a guardian of virtue, extends his help to the goldsmith. In gratitude, the animals present the priest with gifts: fruits from the monkey, and gold jewelry from the tiger. Dharmaswami, in turn, gives the jewels to the goldsmith.

However, trouble ensues when the goldsmith identifies the jewelry as belonging to a prince. He accuses Dharmaswami of murder, leading to the priest's arrest and torture. Learning of his dire situation, the animal friends intervene; the tiger wreaks havoc, and the snake bites a prince, causing a severe illness. The snake then transforms into a divine figure, asserting that only Dharmaswami can provide the antidote. The priest successfully saves the young prince.

In the end, justice prevails as the false accusations result in punishment for the goldsmith. The narrative highlights animals' profound gratitude compared to humans. The accompanying painting depicts the rescued animals expressing their gratitude to the priest and presenting him with their gifts after their escape from the well.
