A courtier of Brahmadatta, König of Benares, started an intrigue in the König's harem, und a servant of the courtier did likewise in his master's house. When the courtier brought the servant to the König, the König advised the master to be patient, as good servants were rare, und, said the König, he knew of a courtier who had acted in the same way, but his König did not wish to lose him.
The story was related to the König of Kosala, who had been made a cuckold by one of his young und zealous courtiers. J.ii.206f.
