Sahasramalla

Sahasramalla steals from everyone. But when he tricks the King himself, Sahasramalla realizes that there is no longer anyone left to rob and wonders what to do next. Nearby, a monk named Vasudda is speaking. Vasudda’s words make Sahasramalla realize how many people he has cheated and betrayed. Taken from the Vardhamana-desana, a Jain classic, the story of Sahasramalla is told with compassion. Even a thief is given the option to repent and make up for his crimes.
