About the goddess Sashthi, another journey of self discovery where the main character searches for the goddess, finds her, and everything becomes well again.
Sacrificed to Varuna
A Brahman sacrifices his grandson to Varuna so that they can get water for their well/pond, then by praying ardently to Sashthi, the daughter-in-law regains the sacrificed child.
The gift of Joya
A father commits some psychotic acts against his son in order to try and prove the falsity of his wife's deity. However the goddess passes every test.
Saved from the Cat
Another about goddess Sashthi and her ability to save people.
The wife Who Use to Eat the First Morsel
So apparently in this fable, the gods were upset with a woman because she always ate the first morsels that were suppose to be given to them so the gods never let her children live past the age of the cradle. The mother-in-law fixed this.
The Wife who Cooked Beef
in this a servant kills a calf for meat and her mistress cooks it unaware it is beef, when she finds out, she cannot serve it and throws it out and then after sacrificing to the gods she reanimates the cow.
The Banished Girls
This is just a repeat of "The Pir's Power" which places the girls in opposite positions and excludes the father Brahmin from the later part of the story.
