The Crow said, "I have seen the jewelled ring that is on the finger of
that King; it is larger than your jewelled ring. Owing to that I know."
The King asked, "Where is that ring?" Then the Crow having said,
"I can show you," calling him, went to a city.
At that city there is a very large rock house (cave). Having gone
near the rock house, he told him to dig in the bottom of the house,
and look. The King caused them to dig, and having dug, a jewelled
ring came to light.
King Gaja-Bahu, taking the jewelled ring and the Crow, came back to his
city. Having come there he put the jewelled ring on his head, and it
fell down his body to the ground. Well then, the King on account of the
strange event let the Crow go, and gave employment to the widow woman.
