Answer:
In the past India has been ruled by many kings who were righteous in every way. The welfare of their subjects was very important to them. Their concern extended to animals and birds also. They were following the rules of dharma shastras meticulously. Here is a story of such a king. His name was Shiby. His sense of dharma was known far and wide.
One day Shiby was sitting on his throne in the darbar hall. Suddenly a dove flew in and fell right into the kings’s lap. It was shivering with fright and pleaded with the king to save its life. Hardly had the king given his word of protection to the dove than a big eagle appeared on the scene. It had blood shot eyes and its talons were very sharp. It told the king, “O wise monarch, this dove is my natural prey. Leave it to me. Otherwise, I will have to die of hunger and you will be responsible for it”. On hearing this the dove looked at the king piteously and pleaded again and again to be saved from the clutches of the eagle.
The king was now in a dilemma. If he allows the eagle to eat the dove, he will be breaking his pledge to save it. On the other hand if he does not give up the dove, the eagle will die of hunger. Either way, he will be breaking a tenet of his dharma. He offered the eagle some other meat which the eagle straightaway refused. Finally, the king offered the eagle freshly cut flesh from his own body equal in weight to that of the dove. The eagle agreed to this offer.
The king ordered his servants to bring a balance and placing the dove on one side of the scale he started cutting off flesh from his own body and placing it on the other scale. But however much flesh he may place on the scale, the dove weighed more than that. Finally, the king himself sat on the scale and offered whole of his body to the eagle. The moment he did so, both the eagle and dove disappeared from the sight and two celestial beings stood there. One of them told the king, “O monarch!, I am Indra and this is Agni Deva. We wanted to test your sense of dharma and you have won. Now rule the country happily for many more years”. So saying, both of them blessed the king and disappeared. The king looked at his body and saw that there was not even a scratch on it leave alone a wound!
