Chapter 47 seems to be setting up a new story. What is this story about, and how does it connect to the previous chapter?

Chapter 47 serves as an introduction to a new story, explicitly stating its central theme. The text asks listeners to pay attention to a story demonstrating how the "extreme state of greed for wealth leads to a downfall." This story is prompted by Sai's "complete merciful glance." The chapter also provides context by linking to the narrative from the end of the previous chapter, which involved Baba's love for some goats due to his memory of their past lives. It thus transitions from that theme to this new cautionary tale about greed, urging listeners to follow the connection attentively.
