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." Being frightened he begged the lady to conceal him somewhere, so she put him in a large gunny bag, and fastened the mouth of it securely.
Grauhar then went to sleep, and in the morning she hired coolies to carry the earthen jar and the sack, and took them before the King, from whom she demanded justice. 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." A similar story still lingers amongst the people in other places, as may be seen in the following legend of Dinajpur, entitled the Touchstone, of which only the latter part need be quoted.'^ "As the Kotwalwas going round the city he saw the girl on the roof, " and said to the garland maker, ' I will come and see your sister to-night.' She said, " ' My sister has made a vow that no one shall come and visit her unless he presents " 'her with a touchstone.' The Kotwal promised it, and went away.
