dn19:30.0 6. The Story of the Great Steward
dn19:30.1 So King Disampati addressed one of his men,
dn19:30.2 “Please, my man, go to the student Jotipāla, and say to him,
dn19:30.3 ‘Best wishes, Jotipāla! You are summoned by King Disampati; he wants to see you.’”
dn19:30.4 “Yes, Your Majesty,” replied that man, and did as he was asked.
dn19:30.6 Then Jotipāla went to the king and exchanged greetings with him.
dn19:30.7 When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side, and the king said to him,
dn19:30.8 “May you, Jotipāla, manage my affairs—please don’t turn me down!
dn19:30.9 I shall appoint you to your father’s position, and anoint you as Steward.”
dn19:30.10 “Yes, worthy sir,” replied Jotipāla.
