Finally Varatantu asked him to give him 140 million gold coins in return for the 14 sciences that he taught the young boy.</span></div><div style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">So Kautsa went to King Raghu, who was known for his generosity.</span></div><div style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">As luck would have it, the king had just spent his money donating to bramhins. So he asked for three days from Kautsa and left to ask for the coins from Lord Indra.</span></div><div style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Indra in turn asked Kuber, the lord of wealth and asked him to rain gold coins on the Shanu and Aapati trees round King Raghu's city.</span></div><div style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Sure enough it began raining gold coins, which King Raghu handed over to Kautsa who in turn offered to his teacher. Since the sage Varatantu had only asked for 140 million, he returned the rest to his disciple.</span></div><div style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Kautsa returned the wealth to the people of Ayodhya on the day of, you guessed it, Dussehra.
