Sanskrit Original
Garīb thavānī rīt batāvī je, ek gāmmā be vāṇiyā be bhāī hatā. Te bannenī pāse chintāmaṇiyu be hatī. Te rājāne khabar paḍavāthī rājāe lashkar mokalī vāṇiyāne jītīne chintāmaṇi ek bhāī pāsethī laī līdhī, pachhī bījo bhāī hato te garīb thaī fāṭelā chīntharā paherī bheṭmā chintāmaṇi rākhī māgī khāto, garīb thaīne nīkaḷī gayo to chintāmaṇi rahī. Tem āpaṇe garīb thaīne chintāmaṇi sāchavī rākhavī.
We should become humble to preserve what we have. In a village, there lived two Vania brothers. Both of them had a chintāmani each. When the king found out he sent his army, which defeated one of the brothers and took away his chintāmani. The other brother was clever. He wore torn clothes like a pauper, begged for his food and hid the chintāmani. Thus, he pretended to be poor and left the kingdom, keeping the chintāmani. Similarly, we should become meek and preserve the chintāmani in the form of God and his holy Sadhu.
