How Maharaja Tiger king ironically avenged by a 100th tiger?
Answers
The Maharaja of Pratibandapuram, who was also known as the Tiger King tried to go against what was destined in his fate. The result was tragic and ironical. The chief astrologer had predicted that a tiger would be the cause of the king's death and he should specially be cautious of the hundredth tiger. The vain king banned hunting of the tigers in the state by everyone except himself and was able to kill ninety-nine tigers. He thought he had killed the hundredth tiger also but somehow the tiger bullet missed its mark and the hundredth tiger survived. Then on his son's birthday the king bought him a wooden tiger which he felt was a perfect gift for his son. A silver splinter in it pierced the king's hand and the infection spread all over his arm causing his death. It was indeed ironical that despite killing all the tigers in his kingdom, the king did finally become the victim of the hundredth tiger and the astrologer's prediction did come true.
