सिंहासन बत्तीसी नौ
ek bar raja vikramadity ne hom kiya. brahman aye, seth-sahookar aye, desh-desh ke raja aye. yajn hone laga. tabhi ek brahman man ki bat jan leta tha.
usane ashirvad diya: he rajanh! too chiranjiv ho.
jab mantr poore hue to raja ne kaha: he brahyan! tumane bina dandavath ke ashirvad diya, yah achchha nahian kiya-
jab lag paanv ne lage koee.
shap saman vah ashish hoee॥
brahman ne kaha: rajanh tumane man-hi-man dandavath ki, tab maianne ashish di.
yah sunakar raja bahut prasann hua aur usane bahut-sa dhan brahman ko diya.
brahman bola: itana to dijiye, jisase mera kam chale.
is par raja ne use aur adhik dhan diya. yajn mean aur jo log aye the. unhean bhi khule hath dan diya.
itana kahakar putali boli: rajanh! tum sianhasan par baithane ke yogy nahian. sher ki barabari siyar nahian kar sakata, hans ke barabar kauva nahian ho sakata, bandar ke gale mean motiyoan ki mala nahian sohati. tum sianhasan par baithane ka vichar chho d do.
raja bhoj nahian mana. agale din phir sihaansan ki or badha to dasavian putali premavati ne usake raste mean badha dal di.
putali boli: pahale meri bat suno.
raja ne big dakar kaha: achchha, sunao.
putali boli: lo sunoan.
