16 Binod.  "That is not well. Even supposing him to be in fault, still, he has a son. The child is innocent. What will he have to depend on."

Krishna.  "I will bequeath him a sixty-fourth share."

Binod.  "In the division of the property what will that represent?"

Krishna.  "My income is two lakhs of rupees. A sixty-fourth share will come to more than three thousand rupees. With that sum a grihastha can easily get on in the way of food and clothing. I will not give more."

Binod Lâl urged the matter long, but in vain. The Kartâ could not be persuaded to change his purpose.
