4 1. Augury-In a town lived an expert augur. He had two disciples 5
whom he liked equally. He taught them with same interest. One of the students was very modest and followed the teacher's instructions strictly. He listened to the lessons with keen attention and pondered over them regularly. Whenever there was some doubt, hep question before the teacher and removed his doubt. Soon he acquired all knowledge and became an expert. The other student was immodest. He neither gave attention to what was taught nor did he ponder over the lessons. He found asking questions and removing doubts below his dignity. Due to this nature his education remained .. faulty and incomplete.
Once the two students, on some errand, set out to go to a nearby village. On the road they saw large foot prints. The immodest 9
commented "These appear to be foot prints of an elephant." The 45 modest informed—“No friend, they are of a she-elephant and it is 5
blind in the left eye. Not only this, some woman from the royal family 35 is riding that she-elephant. The woman is married and pregnant and so
will give birth to a son within a day or two. 5 The immodest could not believe all these predictions based on 5 4 mere foot prints. He asked—“On what basis do you say that ?" The
modest replied—"After going some distance it will all be clear to you. The immodest was hurt and remained silent. Some time later they
reached their destination. There they saw that on the banks of a lake 55 was a camp site apparently of some rich person. On one side of the S 4 row of tents, stood a she-elephant blind in left eye. While the two 5 young men were looking curiously at all this, a maid servant emerged as
out of a gorgeous tent and approached an impressive person with royal bearing and said—“Minister Sir ! Please go and congratulate the king. The queen has given birth to a son."
Getting all this information the modest said—“See friend, what I told has proved to be true.” The immodest accepted grudgingly—“Yes, your knowledge is perfect.” And they sat down under a tree to rest.
A little later an old woman with water filled pitcher on her head 5 3 passed that way. When she saw two scholarly looking young men she 45 thought—“They appear to be some learned augurs. Let me ask them
when my son, who has gone away for work, will return." She took a few steps, came near the two young men, and put her quarry to them.
