In plain words
Greatly pleased with the answer Rāmakṛṣṇa gave, Kṛṣṇadevarāya honoured him grandly with gold coins, the nine gems and many other gifts besides.
Rāmakṛṣṇa tied up all the gifts the king had given into a bundle. “I have earned these prizes, but can I hold on to them? Can I keep them safe?” Such was the doubt that came to him. He asked Rāyalu to send two soldiers with him to help him until he reached home. At Rāmakṛṣṇa's request, Rāyalu sent two bodyguards with him to help him.
After reaching his house, Rāmakṛṣṇa realised that two thieves too had followed him there and were hiding in the garden behind the house. He pondered, ‘Where am I to hide the nine gems and the gold coins, precious as they are?’ A plan struck him. At once he called his wife: ‘The menace of thieves in our town is terrible, isn't it! So I will drop this bundle of the king's gifts into the well in our backyard. There they will be safe,’ he said. He spoke those words loudly, so that the thieves would hear them. At once he tied some stones into a bundle, brought it and dropped it into that well. After that, husband and wife shut the doors and pretended to be asleep. In the hope that the ‘bundle of gold coins’ might turn up, the thieves kept drawing water from that well all night long. But however long they drew, the water in the well did not run low. In the end they grew weary and went their way. Rāmakṛṣṇa was delighted that, without the least effort on his part, every plant in his garden had received plenty of water.
