A Tangled Complaint
A man accused another of stealing his gold chain. But when Birbal investigated, every witness added their own exaggeration.
The Truth Uncovered
Birbal patiently peeled back every layer of exaggeration until the original lie was revealed. The thief had never stolen a chain—he had merely borrowed a belt!
Justice Served
The court learned how quickly a small falsehood becomes a great injustice when passed from tongue to tongue.
Lesson to Be Learned
Lies bind like chains, one link at a time. Only truth—spoken with courage—frees the soul. In the path of bhakti, truthfulness is essential for spiritual progress.
