28 narrator 1: Now, it happened that all this was seen by Sakka, the King of
Heaven, who was sitting on his marble throne in his thousand-mile-high palace.

31 narrator 2: Sakka walked into Sushil’s house as if he were Sushil himself.
32 narrator 3: In Sushil’s own voice he told a servant,
33 sakka: (imitating Sushil) Run through the town and invite everyone you see.
Today Sushil will share his wealth!
