I am happy that your heart is purified; that is my reward, I do not want anything from you.” Saying thus, the recluse went away. The same artist had come to the king the next day in the attire of a danseuse and danced wonderfully before him. Then the king was pleased and gave him some silk clothes and jewelry as presents.

Therefore, he refused the presents. But as a dancer, he demanded more in accordance with the role he was playing. Renunciation is the quality of a recluse, and greed is the nature of a danseuse.
