He at once confessed his part, and explained the village elders what his son had done.
Thus, the village elders came to know of the truth, and decided to punish Papabuddhi for his guilt for theft, to blame it on Dharmabuddhi and misleading the village elders.
They decided to hang Papabuddhi on the very same tree, and praised Dharmabuddhi for his wit.
