Folk Tales of India — Part 4 of 81 (The Indigent Brahman)
Disclosure: this performance is narrated by AI-generated voices.
A poor Brahman, who writes the name of Durga one hundred and eight times before he tastes food, is given a humble earthen handi that pours out sweetmeats without end. But heaven's gifts come in pairs — one for the faithful, and one for the thief who steals it — and the goddess's second vessel holds a very different surprise.
From Folk-Tales of Bengal by Lal Behari Day (1883), public domain; told in a modern in-house rendering.
