A king said to his Court Pundit
"Bring a man who is blissful here and there also.
Bring another man who is miserable here and there also.
Bring a third man who is happy here and miserable there
Bring a fourth man who is miserable here and happy there."
The Pundit was in a great dilemma,
His intelligent daughter helped him
"Take this sage before the king
He is happy here and there also.
Take this beggar before him
He is miserable here and miserable after his death also.
Take this wicked rich man before him
He is happy here but miserable in hell after his death.
Take this ascetic before him
Who has emaciated his body.
He is miserable here but happy there in heaven"
The Pundit gained strength now
He took the four people before the king
The king was quite satisfied now.
