59 and laid siege around his city. When the king failed to find a way to 4 5 save his town he made an announcement that whoever had whatever i
poison, he should bring it to the king. Numerous people brought
numerous different types of poison in large quantities. The king, with f the help of his spies, arranged to drop all this poison in the well 41 outside the town, which was the only source of drinking water for the 41 attacking army. 5. Once this was done a doctor came with a small bottle of poison.
When the king saw this, he got angry—“You have come so late, i doctor! and that too with this tiny bottle of poison?” The doctor s explained—“Sire! Please don't get agitated. This is a highly toxic E poison. This small bottle can kill much more people than all the 5 poison you have collected till now.”
Raising his eye brows the king asked— "How is it possible? Can you prove?"
The doctor requested for an old elephant to be brought there. When it was brought, the doctor plucked out a hair from its tail and applied the poison with the tip of a needle at that pore. As the poison spread into the elephant's body it started going limp. The doctor said—“Sire! The poison will slowly contaminate the whole body of
this elephant. Whoever eats its flesh will also be poisoned. That is 4 why this is called Sahasrabedhi (destroyer of one thousand) poison; 41 in other words, a highly toxic poison."
The king believed what the doctor had said. Seeing the elephant 4 fall, the king said—“Doctor, the poor elephant is dying just for nothing. Can you cure it with some anti-dote. The doctor said—“Why not. A doctor who does not know about an anti-dote of a poison he has administered, is no doctor." And he administered an anti-dote into the same pore. Soon the elephant regained its strength.
The doctor had gained this profound knowledge through his Vainayikı Buddhi. 451 11, 12. The Charioteer and The Courtesan-These examples 5 are part of the story of Sthulbhadra. (see page - ) 45 -13. Sheetashati (etc. )-In a town there was a very greedy king.
His sons studied with a great scholar. The princes were generous and 4 modest. This inspired the teacher to teach them very sincerely. When 卐 श्री नन्दीसूत्र
