Due to his honesty, one day he lost his vast empire and his family including his wife and son, and for years guarded a crematorium like a servant. He was disheartened by his state of affairs until a sage passing by saw his condition and sympathised with him.

He was indeed eradicated of his past sins as he gradually regained his empire and was reunited with his family.
