In Chapter 47, the narrator explicitly asks listeners to "follow the connection with the previous story attentively." It reminds the reader that at the end of the previous chapter, they heard the story of the goats and that Baba’s love for them was rooted in the memory of their past lives. Building on this theme of karmic history, Chapter 47 transitions to a new topic. It asks listeners to pay attention to a forthcoming story that will demonstrate "how the extreme state Of greed for wealth leads to a downfall." Thus, as explained in Chapter 47, the narrative bridge from the previous chapter's theme of past-life connections serves as an introduction to a new moral tale about the perils of greed.
