‘To such a minister, a king ought to be beholden, always.’ And the king continued:

‘The minister, Prajnakośa reflected: “Where a king is totally devoted, heart and mind, to his queen, and takes no thought for his kingdom, the subjects are helpless, orphaned; and the realm itself goes to rack and ruin. As the saying goes:

Pitiful is a man unlettered,

pitiful is conjugal love without offspring,

pitiful are subjects unsupported,

pitiful too a realm anarchical.”

‘With these thoughts the minister died.’

Having heard this, the genie was gone.

Thus ends the eleventh tale in the Five-and-Twenty Tales of the Genie composed by Śivadāsa.
