But in the whole of
Dwaraka there was no Seth Samaldas. They were disappointed and also angry. They thought
Narsi had deceived them. At last a man came to see
the merchants. He said, "I am Seth Samaldas. What do you want?"
The merchants replied, "We have a hundi for Rs. 1500 which
Narsi Mehta of Juna- gadh gave to us."
"Oh! I thought it was for Rs. 2000. Anyway, I have brought
Rs. 2000. You may takethis entire money and give me the hundi!"said Seth
Samaldas.
The merchants hesitated. "Sir, how can we take more money
than we have given? Please give us only Rs. 1500," they said.
The Seth said: "Doesn't matter. I shall give you Rs. 500
as a gift, because you have helped Narsi."
The merchants were pleased and took the money.
God Krishna himself had come as Seth Samaldas to help his
devotee! |
