Once Kousta (son of Devadatta) decided to offer Guru Dakshina to his guru Varatantu after completing his education, but, he was asked to pay 14 crore gold currencies (one currency for every 14 sciences). He visited King Raghuraj (ancestor of Rama) to urge these, yet, he was unable to offer them thanks to Vishwajeet’s renunciation. Thus, Kousta visited the God of Indra and after this, he again visited Kubera (God of Wealth) in Ayodhya for the required golden postures to rain on the “Shanu” and “Apati” trees. during this way, Kousta received currencies to supply to his master. That incident remains remembered today through a practice of plundering the leaves of the “Apati” tree. On today people give these leaves to every other as a gold coin.
