229

The king of the Prajapatis had a charioteer. When his father was forbidden, he mounted his chariot with the charioteer to protect the three-backed creature from the attack. As soon as he was addressed, the lion ran towards him. Then the three-backed creature, with the force of a cluster of conch shells, split the lion's mouth in two, making the lion half-dead. Then the lion blamed himself, "Alas! I have been killed by a mere human!" Then the sweet-tongued charioteer comforted him, "O lion! This one is going to be Vasudeva. Do not consider him a mere beggar. If you die by the hand of the king of men, why are you disheartened? This one is a lion in the mortal world, but you are in the animal realm." Encouraged by these words, the lion attained peace and closed his eyes. Then all three of them wandered in the ocean of existence, and in due course, they were born here. The three-backed creature was born as I, the lion was born as a farmer, and the charioteer was born as you, Indra-bhuthi. In the past, you were pleased by his sweet words, and I killed him. In this play of existence, the cause of love and hatred should be understood. However, you have been born with a white side. 38. The story of Sudarshan in the Sri-Upadesha-Prasada, a treatise on the avoidance of hatred.

In Champa, there was a wealthy merchant named Rishabhadasa. His wife was a virtuous woman named Sushilā. In the month of Magha, another wealthy merchant named Subhaga, along with his wife, went to his house. In the evening, they saw a Muni on the road, shivering from the cold, sitting near an image. They praised him and went home. After spending the night, they got up early in the morning and went out with their wives. Seeing the Muni still there, they sat down beside him. As the sun rose, the Muni said, "Namo Arihantaṇam" and flew up into the sky. Then he considered that the Muni's words were like a mantra of celestial knowledge and imprinted them in his mind. He used to recite them in the presence of the Arhat. Seeing him absorbed in meditation, the merchant asked, "How did you get this?" He said, "From the Muni." Satisfied with the whole story, the merchant paid him full respects.

From then on, he continued to praise the Muni. In due course, a year passed. Then, due to a cloud, the earth was flooded. The merchant's wife, fearing for her life, went to the forest. In the meantime, the river flooded. Then, remembering the celestial knowledge, he jumped into the river. In the process, he was pierced by a nail and died. He was reborn as the son of the same merchant, named Sudarshan. In due course, he was married to Manorama, the daughter of his parents. From then on, he developed a strong friendship with Kapila, the king's priest. One day, his wife, Kapila, who was eager for love, having heard about her husband's virtues, went to Sudarshan's palace and said, "My dear, you have a beautiful body. Therefore, you should come to my house soon to inquire about my well-being." She secretly took him inside her house, closed the door, left her shawl, and begged him for love. Then, the merchant, who was a hypocrite, in order to protect his virtue, said, "I am a hypocrite, my dear. Why do you ask me in vain?" He went out and returned home.
