"Stop
that rot and proceed straight giving us the details, lest
You'll not be let off, nor we go home without wresting that crest."
When their adamancy reached the zenith, the sanyasi at last revealed
That a cave atop the hill contains abundant treasure kept concealed.
Hearing
the word treasure, the three rode fast with speed incredible
On entering, they literally fainted at the sight of enormous wealth
Lying in heaps of gold coins and mounds of gems concealed by stealth
The worth, in fact, neither be estimated, nor fixed by means credible
"What a dunce's that Sanyasi to be daunted by this countless
treasure
So vast, so huge, so enormous that one can buy even heaven with it
Sure Kubera too confesses that his wealth's infinitesimal before it
Astronomical figures alone can fix the worth of that hues treasure.
Unable to contain themselves, they rolled round in frenzy for hours
Getting up exhausted, they decided to share after a meal sumptuous
So the elder bade the junior to fetch from town food sumptuous
Hopping off soon, the junior promised to return within two hours.
