Kalanduka was the servant of the treasurer of Benares. He ran away, with the help
of a forged letter, and married the daughter of a border merchant. The treasurer
sent a parrot to seek for him. The parrot saw him hawking and spitting out milk at
his wifeís head in order to assert himself. Wishing to teach him a lesson, the parrot
threatened to expose him. Later, the treasurer hearing of Kalandukaís whereabouts
from the parrot, had him brought back and reduced again to slavery. See also Ka.taahaka
