C lock This story is Exalted, while in the United Vienna, told the elders Laludayi. In his time, Venerable Dabba, the Malla clan, made man for our food distribution Increased rice. At that time, in the morning, while distributing rice card, when it was Elder Udayi good rice, when it was bad rice. On the day was bad rice throb Udayi often played cards in the room and said:

-  Why just play cards Dabba know, do we not know or what?

One day, when Udayi disturb cards up in the room, they gave out cards to Udayi window and said:

-  Today, Sage just play cards.

Starting that day, Udayi Increase cards for them. But while playing cards, Udayi not know rice rice is good, bad rice is rice, the lower Udayi Greek did not know how to be good rice distribution, lowered the Greek How bad are distributed rice. When making the order to divide the window, order Udayi not think of lowering Greek. Therefore, when the venerable stand on his position, recording a mark Udayi on the floor or on the wall to indicate this restaurant stand this place, and there stood the other rows.

And the next day, in a room with little cards distributed more monks in this restaurant, and there are many monks than in the other row. Customers do little more monks, the marks are too low, many monks rows over, then scored high marks. But Udayi not know about upcoming products, has distributed the cards according to their signs. Thus, the monks told Udayi:

-  The signs are either too low or too high. Good for rice have other products such Greek Gaio also bad for your back with Greek restaurant like this.

But Udayi brushed them aside and said:

-  If this mark is so, why do not stand so Sage? Why do I believe the Sage? I believe my bookmarks over.

The position of young and novice Udayi pull out of the distribution and said:

-   Hey Sage referring Udayi padded, when Sage distribution card, the monks received their missing parts are received. Sage is not worthy to serve. Please go away.

Long ago, in the Kasi country, at the Balaam complaints, Brahmadatta was reigning. At that time, the Bodhisattva of us as evaluators for the king. He rated the elephants and horses, assess jewels, gold etc .. and he usually paid to the owners of the goods at the price of money as he had prescribed. But the king was greedy and taking the king's nature that he thought: "The evaluation of this with such assessments, not how long it would make my fortune in the impoverished. We have to find a different assessment. "Open the window, looking down at the field, the king saw a stupid country bumpkin participate and are going through the field, he can think guys do people judge for themselves, who went to call him up, and he may ask the reviewer for the king is not. But he answered:

- Sire, I can do it.

King then put him in the position of stupid people who evaluate, with the purpose of protecting their assets. From then onwards, the source was rated elephants, horses, etc .. Do not care at all about value, said the price preference. And because the position was, who he said nothing, then the price is not so, another can not.

At that time, the northern countries, a trader with five hundred horse to horse. King who was called up and told him to evaluate the horse. But he rated five hundred horses with rice auction, dealers told to pay for a top price of rice horses, horses in stables and security leadership. Horse traders went to meet the old reviews, narrated this incident and ask how. Bodhisattva said:

- Give him some bribes and asked it: Knowing that the price for our horses worth a rice game, he could tell us, according to a league he money is how much rice, he may claim that the price was not before the king? If it can be answered, then handed it to the front of the king, and I will be there.

Merchant listened to Bodhisattva, to evaluate some bribes, and put the issue to raise him. When this person was accepting bribes and said the match could evaluate rice, traders rushed his horse before the king. Bodhisattva and many other lords go. Horse dealers, after prostrating king, began to say:

- Sire, you know the price of five hundred horse with tactical price of rice.

- But tactical rice price is how much?

- Dai Vuong ask this reviewer. Do not know what happened, King said:

- Hey reviewer, secretary tells us that the price of five hundred horse.

- Sire, the tactical price of rice.

- Be So the secretary. Five hundred horses worth a rice game. So the value of a game is how much rice?

Cretin he replied:

- A game with all rice worth of Balaam complaint with the suburbs!

Thus, we know that, in order to please the king, who was worth the horse in a game of rice; but after taking bribes from arms merchant, he was assessed a match rice with whole suburbs Balaam complaints. At that time, the whole city surrounded Balaam complaint to twelve miles long, while the inner city and suburban Balaam lodged three hundred miles wide! However, he fools the internal and external value of the three- la-wide appeal of this game with a rice! That heareth say, the grand applause smiled and said:

- In the past we often think of the earth and the country is invaluable. But now we know that the big cities Balaam complaint along with kings only one game worth of rice only. Oh, who assess the full truth wisdom! Why it can hold its position for so long! But really who rated this fit our king a wonderful way!

The university's applause, laughter and ironic way. Then Bodhisattva read verse:

Price match how much rice?

- By the inner suburbs,

City Balaam complaints

All five hundred horses

Also just the cost of money

A rice tournament only.

At the time, King was embarrassed chasing fools go and put the Bodhisattva in the same position evaluation. Then comes the common destiny, Bodhisattva followed his career.
