The Dēvatāwā asked, “What dost thou want?”
The man said, “I want goods.”
Thereupon the Dēvatāwā, having given the man three pills, says, “Taking these three pills, having thought of the thing thou wantest cast them down. The things thou wantest will be created.”
Then the man, taking the pills, for one said, “May my house be created a palace, together with the possession of wealth,” and threw away one pill. In that manner this occurred.
For the next one he said, “On each side of the door-way of my house, may a horse of silver and a tusk elephant of gold be created,” and threw away a pill. In that manner they were created.
For the other one he said, “A road to my house having been created, let a carriage for me to go in, and many things come into existence,” and threw away the other pill. In that very way they were created. After that, having come home he remained in happiness.
After that, a woman of another house came to this house for fire. Having come and seen these matters, she asked this woman, “Sister-in-law, how did you obtain these things?”
Thereupon this woman says, “Having beaten my husband with the broom, I caught him by the hair-knot, and put him out at the door-way, to seek goods and come back. After that, he went, and having been near a tree came back [after] receiving them.” Having said [this], she told the woman about these matters [and that her husband received the things he thought of].
Afterwards the woman, having gone home and beaten the woman’s husband with the broom, caught him by the hair-knot, and put him out at the door-way. The man having gone also, stayed near the tree, weeping and weeping.
At that time, by the Dēvatāwā three pills were given (lit., gave) to [this] man also. The man, taking them, came home.
