The Chaṇḍāla versed in spells (Chapter 020)

Also known as: Chaṇḍāla / Paṇḍit / master / teacher · Family: Vārāṇasī · Role: spellcaster · First appears: Chapter XX

At Vārāṇasī, the Chaṇḍāla versed in spells brought King Brahmadatta out-of-season fruits and flowers, and the pleased king rewarded him with presents. A Brahman youth seeking magic agreed to serve him in hopes of learning the art; pleased with the youth’s service, the Chaṇḍāla promised, “I will teach you the art of magic.”

Accordingly, the Chaṇḍāla lost his employment when the purohita transferred it to the youth with the king’s approval.
