สรุปเนื้อหา
In this parable, a king learns about a thief who stole jewels but is ensnared in another story about excess and consequence. The narratives intertwine, showing how what appears to be a refuge can become a downfall. The storyteller suggests focusing on recovering the stolen property rather than identifying the thief, weaving a moral tale about deception and the complexity of trust.

ข้อความต้นฉบับในหน้า
"A man, O king, who like fire was the refuge of the people, stole the bundle of jewels. Do not ask me about the thief."
"Friend, just bring me the thief." Without telling the king that he was a thief, he told yet another story.
4) Once, sire, in this very city a man ate to excess and was unable to digest his food. Maddened with pain and lamenting he spoke this stanza:
Food on which countless
brahmins life sustain
Killed me outright
My refuge proved my bane.
"One, who like rice, sire, was the refuge of the people, stole the property. When that is recovered, why ask about the thief?"
