Shwetaketu went to the assembly of the wise men of Panchala, and found king Prawahana Jaiwali, surrounded by courtiers. The king saw him and said: ‘Welcome, young man!’

‘Here I am, Your Majesty,’ said Shwetaketu.

The king said: ‘Have you been taught by your father?’

Shwetaketu said: ‘Yes!’

The king said: ‘Do you know if people go in different directions when they die?’

‘No!’

‘Do you know how they come back again to this world?’
