When the jeweller saw that he could not' proceed on his way unless the farmer's cart was removed, he began to grow angry and or dered Mahaduta, his slave, to push the cart aside, so that his carriage could pass by. The farmer remonstrated because, being so near the slope of the road, it would jeopardise his cargo; but the Brahman would not listen to the farmer and bade his servant overturn the rice-cart and push it aside. Mahaduta, an un usually strong man, who seemed to take de light in the 1njury of others, obeyed before the samana could interfere The rice was thrown on the wayside, and the farmer's plight was worse than before.
