The Tale of Four Friends and the Wheel of Greed

They were poor and troubled by the hardships of life, and one day, they decided that enough was enough. They vowed to seek out wealth to rid themselves of poverty.

And so, their adventure began. They left behind their native city, with the blessings of their loved ones, and traveled to the country of Avanti. There, they came upon a wise ascetic, Bhairavananda, whose magic promised them the fortunes they sought.

As they journeyed on to the Himalayas, guided by four magical wicks bestowed upon them by the ascetic, their greed was put to the test. Alpalobhin, ‘A little greedy,’ was the first to find a treasure of copper coins and wanted to return home. Still, the others, blinded by their desire for even greater riches, urged him to leave the copper and move on.

Their journey continued, and each friend found their respective treasures, with Mithalobhin discovering silver and Athilobhin finding gold. Yet, it was Athyanthalobhin, ‘the excessively greedy,’ who refused to be satisfied and sought the rarest jewels. His insatiable greed led him to a frightening valley, where he beheld a harrowing sight.

Before him stood a man with a ghastly, quickly-revolving wheel on his head, churning his blood, a wheel of misfortune caused by excessive greed.
