decision."
Hawk replied: "King I am not getting your religious language. I am hungry and it is also sinful to increase any one's hunger. Mutton is my food.”
King: “Oh...you want mutton then I will provide you with the meat, which will be equal to weight of pigeon.”
Hawk convinced with King. King called for scale. At one side he kept pigeon and on other side he started putting meat taken out from his own leg. However, side of pigeon was going down and down. The people were astounded.
At last, King himself set on the other side of scale. And he said to hawk, “Oh... Hawk...Eat my body gleefully. And satisfy your hunger."
Whole royal family gathered over there. Everybody was crying. Suddenly hawk and pigeon both disappeared. In place of them two deities came and were apologizing for their misdeed. They told King Meghrath, “King! In the parliament Ishānendra deity was applauding your compassion. Hence, we came here to test you!”
They showered flowers on King Meghrath and returned back to their places.
