Why was the maharaja sunk in deep gloom even after killing seventy tigers?
Answers
The tiger population had come down so much because of the tiger hunt and the Maharaja was not able to find any tigers to hunt. That was the reason why he was in despair after killing seventy tigers.
The story goes that, an astrologer had predicted that the Maharaja’s death would be caused by a tiger. To disapprove this prediction, the Maharaja killed a tiger. The astrologer told him that he had to kill one hundred tigers to escape the prophecy. That is what set the Maharaja on a tiger hunting spree.
