The Jogi’s Punishment

"The Jogi's Punishment" is a short story by Andrew Lang set in the ancient city of Rahmatabad, where a rajah places his trust in a seemingly holy hermit — a jogi whose piety masks dangerous obsession. When the rajah's beautiful, sharp-witted daughter secretly visits the shrine and sees through the jogi's desires, his wounded pride turns to calculated vengeance. He convinces the rajah that his own daughter is an evil spirit and has her nailed inside a chest and cast into the river — yet the princess's resourcefulness and a fateful encounter on the water set in motion the jogi's undoing.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
