The Brahmarakshas and the Heir is a short story by Mrs. Howard Kingscote. The plot follows a miser and greedy landlord, who owned few villages. He was rich, but governed his lands poorly, so they ran impecunious. Eventually, the landlord himself started to lose his fortunes. One day, he met a Sanyasi, a solitary hermit, who was kind enough to share a sacred knowledge with the landlord.
