Answers
Indian mythology holds a strong place in the hearts of millions across the globe. Folklores mentioned in Indian epics are a source of inspiration and ideal living for people worldwide. One such beautiful recital is of Shibi. He was the son of Ushiinara King and a devotee of Lord Vishnu. The place is also known as Hastinapur at that point of history. King Shibi was known for keeping his words, compassion and justice.
Hearing about his compassion and justice, Agnideva and Dev Indra wanted to test his greatness and humility. The Gods decided to test the greatness of Shibi’s limits of donation. Agnidev characterized him as a pigeon and Dev Indra took the form of an eagle. Portraying an eagle, Dev Indra started chasing Agnidev who was in the form of a pigeon. The pigeon entered Shibi chakravarti’s palace where he was seated with his court mates. The pigeon yelled “Save me O King”. Seeing this Shibi’s Guru said “O King! The pigeon has come to you for protection. Everyone has the right to survive and there is no better help than saving a being’s life”.
