One of the wise things Putraka did as a king was to make friends with his Brahman subjects. Brahmans are fond of travelling, and Putraka thought, if he were good to them, they would talk about him wherever they went. Perhaps through them his father and uncles would hear about him. If they knew he was now a king ruling over their native land, they would want to come back. He gave the Brahmans money, and told them to find his father and uncles. If they did, they were to say how anxious he was to see them, and promise them everything they wanted, if they would return.
Wherever the Brahmans went they talked about the young king. Putraka's father and uncles heard the stories and asked questions. The answers made them eager to see Putraka, but they did not realize that he was related to them. Only when they heard the name of his mother did they guess the truth. Putraka's father knew that when he had deserted his wife, his wife was with a child and how wicked this was. However, he forgot all about that, thinking how he could make as much use as possible of his son the king. He wanted to go back at once and his uncles agreed. They meant to get all they could out of Putraka. The three selfish men, now quite old, set off together.
They arrived, making their way to the palace, where they were received, with great rejoicing. None of the wives, said a word of reproach and as for Putraka, he was so overjoyed at having his father back, that he gave him a beautiful house to live in and a great deal of money. He was very good to his uncles too, and felt that he had now really nothing left to wish for.
