THE NINE SONS-IN-LAW - STORY

THE NINE SONS-IN-LAW - STORY

There is a story called praharena dhananjaya.

One gentleman had eight or nine 
daughters and sons-in-law. 

So when they came to stay there, he was giving them good food and shelter, everything. 

They were thinking, "We are living very comfortably at our father-in-law's expense." 

So they did not want to go. The  father in law thought, "It is very dangerous that all these sons-in-law are not going." 

So then he began to neglect providing for them. On the first day he did not supply salt. 

One son-in-law said, "Oh, they are now disrespectful. They haven't given salt." 

So one went away. And the next day he didn't supply something else. Gradually he shortened it down, and those who were intelligent, they went away. But the last one, he was not going. 

He thought, "At least it is somewhere to sleep." Then his brothers-in-law thought, "Give him good beating." And then he went away.

MORAL: Others, those who were intelligent, went away when they saw that there was disrespectful dealing. The last one was a rascal. He was beaten severely, and then he went away. So the business of the material nature is kicking. But we are so fool that we take it. "Oh, very nice kicking."
