It's a nice story but as far as I know it's pure lore. It's not corroborated by any historical document, truth and falsehood cannot be separated and so it is to be removed from Wikipedia. On a sidenote, I like the dollar sign next to the sums - ancient Indians must have used US dollar as early as 540 BCE, quite advanced must I say. Let alone the mere mention of exact amounts.LXNDR (talk) 20:44, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

Agree.  It is a collection of traditional stories, which is not what should be in an encyclopedia.--Gronk Oz (talk) 06:35, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
