Describe the scheme the wealthy man devised when his wife decided to sell her ornaments for the temple.

When his wife resolved to sell her ornaments to fund the temple, the greedy husband became agitated. As detailed in Chapter 47, he devised a deceitful plan to keep the valuables in the family while appearing to support her. He offered to purchase the ornaments himself, valuing them at one thousand. However, instead of giving her money, he transferred a worthless, barren, and marshy piece of land into her name. He then cynically told his wife to donate this unproductive land to Shiva, suggesting this act would fulfill the vision's request and please God. This scheme allowed him to retain the valuable ornaments through trickery.
