146 in its place write that of my nephew's wife, Bhramar. Write that after Bhramar's death the half-share will come to Gobind Lâl."

All remained stupefied. No one spoke. The Mohurir looked at Gobind Lâl, who made a sign to him to write. The Mohurir obeyed. When he had finished writing, Krishna Kanta signed, the witnesses signed. Gobind Lâl, now become a beggar, also signed as a witness.

In the will not a farthing was left to Gobind Lâl. To Bhramar the half-share.

That night, beneath the tulsi-tree, calling upon Hari, Krishna Kanta passed away.
