Harikesh Bal
He gave a serious thought to this incident
He looks at the pieces of the dead snake
With these thoughts Bal got down from the tree
Is this a common happening in this world. People kill only those who harm others. Does no one
kill an innocent.?
My neighbours cut the poisonous snake to pieces
and the non-poisonous Dumuhi moves around freely. Nobody killed it.
People beat me and insult me, why?
Because I also misbehave with them. I abuse them. If like this Dumuhi I too get rid of my anger, nobody will beat me. Everyone
will love me.
Bal sat down cross-legged at the same spot and thought calmly. During the process he became
aware of his earlier birth and recalled incidents from that birth
In Hastinapur lived a very handsome priest called Somdatt
In appearance priest Somdatt is very handsome but he is very short tempered and jealous. He quarrels with and hates every one.
Who has given him the name Somdatt?
He should be named Rudradattt, the fireball of
jealousy.
