2. Sudhama Swami narrated—Jambu ! It is said that during that period of time there existed a town named Varanasi. On the northeastern side of the river Ganges was a lake named Mritgangateerhrid. It had a number of natural banks. Its water was cold, deep, pure and clear. Its surface was covered with lotus flowers, lily flowers and dense green foliage. It was filled with a wide variety of lotus flowers and the yellow of their pollen. Thus the lake was very beautiful and attractive.
Flocks of a variety of aquatic animals including fish, turtle, alligator, crocodile, Sunsumar, etc. abounded it and played around fearlessly.
सूत्र ३. तस्स णं मयंगतीरद्दहस्स अदूरसामंते एत्थ णं महं एगे मालुयाकच्छए होत्था, वन्नओ। तत्थ णं दुवे पावसियालगा परिवसंति पावा चंडा रोहा तल्लिच्छा साहसिया लोहियपाणी आमिसत्थी आमिसाहारा आमिसप्पिया आमिसलोला आमिसं गवेसमाणा रत्तिं वियालचारिणो दिया पच्छन्नं चावि चिट्ठति।
सूत्र ३. उस झील के पास एक बड़ा-सा तुलसी-वन था (पूर्व सम)। जिसमें दो पापी सियार रहते थे। वे पापी बड़े क्रोधी, रौद्र, साहसी और इच्छित वस्तु को पाने में दत्तचित्त थे। उनके अगले पैर खून से सने रहते थे। वे मांसा , माँसाहारी और माँसप्रिय ही नहीं माँस लोलुप भी थे। मांस की तलाश में वे साँझ और रात को घूमते-फिरते और दिन में छिपे रहते थे।
3. Near that lake was a large thicket of basil (Tulsi) shrubs (details as before), in which lived two evil jackals. They were cunning, ferocious, bold, and greedy. Their front paws were always bloody. They not only consumed, liked, and loved meat but were also ravenous for it. During the evening and night they roamed around in search of a prey and remained concealed during the day. कछुओं का आगमन ___ सूत्र ४. तए णं ताओ मयंगतीरद्दहाओ अन्नया कयाई सूरियंसि चिरत्थमियंसि लुलियाए संझाए पविरलमाणुसंसि णिसंतपडिणिसंतंसि समाणंसि दुवे कुम्मगा आहारत्थी आहारं गवेसमाणा सणियं सणियं उत्तरंति। तस्सेव मयंगतीरदहस्स परिपेरंतेणं सव्वओ समंता परिघोलेमाणा परिघोलेमाणा वित्तिं कप्पेमाणा विहरंति।
