Once a person served a Yakṣa called Kuṇḍadhara
sincerely. As the Yakṣa did not have the power to give
a boon, he managed to give a boon to the devotee
from the deity. The good persons, in
weakness, try to do good to the people through
somebody. The good people try to increase the Sattva
quality of a man when they want to help. The maxim
underlines this trait of the character of good men.

This maxim refers to a legend when some persons
came to a certain house to see a girl. They heard the
noise of the bangles when the girl started pounding.
The bangles slowly dropped except one and the noise
practically stopped. This legend suggests that a person

assistance of anybody else.
