He was thus stealing in the city. Once a king asked the courtiers, "Who is this thief ? Whose son is he ?

Kesari's father samarsinh seated in the court said with folded hands," Maharaj! this wicked is my son whom I have driven out from my family.

Not to eat without stealing is his motto. you can now understand everything regarding him.

Once upon a time wicked Kesari was standing on the bank of the tank and was thinking. Meanwhile an ascetie with padukasfoot wear came over there through the space. He began to bathe and wash keeping his padukas on the bank of the tank . Meanwhile kesari took away his padukas and disappeared soon.

By the effect of Padukas Kesari all alone used to steal safely. He therefore turned out for the public an incurable disease.

He prayed to the goddess of the city fort, "Oh! mother - goddess! I shall share with you half of my theft and retain the rest with me."

"Oh mother goddess! if, by your grace, I succeed to steal safely I shall donate s half of it it you' on hearing his words the goddess gave a consent to him. Then he became a seasoned thief.
