In the story ' The Enchanted Pool " who shouted for help and why
Answers
The Brahmana shouted for help in the story 'The Enchanted Pool'
Explanation:
The story 'The Enchanted Pool' is a part of the Mahabharata. This takes place in a forest where the Pandavas namely Yudhishthira, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula, and Sahadeva were taking shelter in their 12th year of exile.
In the story ' The Enchanted Pool " the Brahmana shouted for help because
one day, a deer was rubbing itself against the poor brahmana's fire-kindling mortar and as it turned to go, the mortar got entangled in its horns and the affrighted animal fled wildly with it into the forest.
In those days matches were unknown and the fire was kindled with pieces of wood by mechanical friction.
"Alas! The deer is running away with my fire-kindler. How can I perform the fire sacrifice?" shouted the brahmana and rushed towards the Pandavas for help in his extremity.
