When he heard this, remembering the last time, he quickly checked into the bag and found that the gold coins were missing. He became very sad, and wished he died.
He sat down and thought, "There is no point in living. I have lost my money again, and cannot face my wife in this state of poverty! I shall hand myself on a tree!"
He wove a rope from the nearby grass, and tied it in a Banyan tree. He made a noose around his neck.
Just as he was about to hang himself, he heard a voice from heaven, "I am Destiny! I have taken the gold coins from you as you did not need the money for your living. But I am pleased with your industrious deeds. I permit you to ask for a boon that I shall grant."
Somilaka replied, "Please give a lot of gold coins, that is the only boon that I ask you to grant"
Destiny asked, "You are not destined to earn more than you need for a living. Why do you ask for the money that you cannot enjoy?"
