Thereafter, when the boy returned to the hermitage, he saw a snake on
his father’s shoulder, and out of his grief he cried very loudly.
PURPORT
The boy was not happy because he committed a great mistake, and he
wanted to be relieved of the burden on his heart by crying. So after enter-
ing the hermitage and seeing his father in that condition, he cried loudly
so that he might be relieved. But it was too late. The father regretted the
whole incidence.
