Why did the Poor Brahman leave home for a long time? What did the Ghost Brahman do while he left home for a long time? How did the Brahman’s wife and mother react to the arrival of the Ghost-Brahman?
Ans.👉🏻 The Poor Brahman left home for a long time to earn a good sum to maintain his family.
In the evening of the same day of the Brahman’s departure, a ghost, assuming the appearance of the Brahman, entered the house and took charge. As the ghost was exactly like the Brahman, no one doubted his identity. Even neighbours thought that the Brahman had returned from his travels.
The Brahman’s newly married wife took the ghost Brahman to be her real husband. Taken aback by his return, she only asked the ghost why he had changed his mind and returned so soon. The ghost replied that the day was not a lucky one and he had already got hold of some money. The mother too did not doubt the identity of the Ghost-Brahman.
How did the Neat-herd King solve the Case of the Brahman?
Ans.👉🏻 When the Brahman returned home from his travels, he found that another like him had become the owner of the house. He was driven away from his own house, so he went to the King’s Court but the king failed to give him justice. One day, while he was returning from the Court in tears, he came across a neat-herd King. The Neat-herd King enquired of his misfortune. He listened to his problem and assured to give back his rights. The next morning was fixed for the trial. The neat-herd King showed them a phial and told them whichever of them would enter the Phial would be declared the rightful owner of the house. The Brahman did not like the process. But the ghost made himself into a small creature and entered into the Phial. The neat-herd Ring corked up the Phial. So the ghost could not get out. The neat-herd king advised the Brahman to throw the Phial into the bottom of the sea. Thus the Brahman lived the rest of his life happily.

Ans.👉🏻 The Brahman, upon returning to his house, finds a ghost occupying his place, living as his wife’s husband. The ghost has even managed to convince the Brahman’s mother of its identity. The sight of another man in his home, masquerading as him, fills the Brahman with shock and disbelief. He is utterly bewildered and heartbroken to witness this unexpected turn of events.

The situation is further complicated by the king’s inability or unwillingness to resolve the matter. The Brahman’s sense of justice and rightful place is violated, leading him to despair and frustration. He weeps and strikes his forehead in anguish, questioning the fairness of the world.
