Sahasramalla Luis Fernandes

Sahasramalla steals from everyone. But when he tricks the King himself, Sahasramalla realizes that there is no longer anyone left to rob and wonders what to do next. Nearby, a monk named Vasudda is speaking. Vasudda's words make Sahasramalla realize how many people he has cheated and betrayed. Taken from the Vardhamana-desana, a Jain classic, the story of Sahasramalla is told with compassion. Even a thief is given the option to repent and make up for his crimes.
