Eighth Goblin:
- Vishnu-swami had a wife and 3 sons
- Sons were specialists in luxury
- Sons were sent to find a turtle for a sacrifice
- They go to the ocean and find the turtle but none of them want to carry it back
- The eldest tries to convince the younger two that they should bring it back
- Eldest: specialist of foods
- Middle: specialist of women
- Youngest: specialist of cotton
- They fought and left the turtle behind and went to the king to have it settled
- The king set up a series of tests for the three of them to test their specialties
- They passed and the king was shocked and confused how it happened
- When he woke up in the morning he decided to give all 3 of them a hundred thousand gold pieces
- They were content and left, forgetting about the turtle and their father's sacrifice
