Unfortunately there was no accessible place for concealment, except a large earthen vessel, which stood in the room. So the Kotwal was squeezed into this vessel, and its mouth was securely fastened by Gauhar. The Kazi then came in and was treated to wine in the same way as the Kotwal, and he was nearly tipsy, when he heard a loud knocking at the door, and a cry of the " Vazir 1 It will be observed that the lady's name, which was UpakosS, in the Vrihat-Katha has been changed by ti-ansposition to... Upasoka in the Katha SaritsS.gara. JlTAKAS OR BIRTHS OF BUDDHA. 57 is coming."

Then the jar and the sack being opened, the Kotwal and the Kazi were dragged out and sentenced to be beheaded, and the merchant Hasan was released from prison, and returned home to his faithful wife Grauhar the " Pearl."
