As soon as a buyer appears in the field, you feel ashamed to be sold to a Chandal! I cannot brook any more delay. I take up water to destroy you." The king begs his pardon, sells himself to the Chandal and pays down the fee to the sage, who then retires. The king now puts on the dress of a Chandal and is appointed with two others to collect rags in a burning-ground. Hideous is the burning-ground.
A bargain is finally struck at two rupees, with a stick of sandal-wood for the head of the pyre thrown in. The logs are quickly conveyed to the burning-ground, a satisfactory site for the sad office is expeditiously chosen, and the mourners with their own hands construct the pile.
At last they were quite tired out and went home, leaving her in the burning-ground. When they had gone she took her husband's corpse on to her lap. Then she prayed to the god Shiva and said: "My parents disown me. O why was I born Both as orphan and widow to live all forlorn?" As she prayed, she put the pulse which her mother had put into her lap grain by grain in the dead man's mouth.
