Bhīṣma said: 'In this context, they also recount this ancient story (itihāsa) – the dialogue between a tiger and a jackal. O Yudhiṣṭhira, please listen to it.'

Formerly, in the glorious city of Purika, there was a king named Paurika. He was cruel, delighting in harming others, and truly a wretch among men.

But when his life was exhausted, he went to an undesirable state, and, tainted by his previous actions (karma), he attained the condition of a jackal.

Remembering his former birth, he attained supreme dispassion, and he would not eat meat, even that offered by others.

He was non-violent towards all beings, truthful, and held firm vows. He sustained himself as he wished with fallen fruits.

His dwelling in the cremation ground became acceptable to him. And, due to his attachment to his birthplace, he did not desire any other abode.

All his kinsmen, unable to tolerate his [insistence on] purity, tried to sway that resolve of his with polite words.

While dwelling in the terrifying cremation ground, you desire to attain purity. This is your inconsistency, considering that you are a flesh-eater.

Or, be like that (jackal), or join us. We will provide you with food. Eat, abandoning purity, for whatever is consumed truly becomes yours.

Having heard their words, he replied, composed and attentive, with sweet, humble, reasonable, and gentle words.

My birth (prasūti) is not the ultimate measure; lineage (kula) is established by character. I shall, however, strive for that action (karma) by which fame (yaśaḥ) is spread.
श्मशाने यदि वासो मे समाधिर्मे निशाम्यताम् ।

13.
If my dwelling is in the cremation ground, let my profound meditation (samādhi) be observed. The self (ātman) brings actions (karma) to fruition; the stage of life (āśrama) is not the true mark of natural law (dharma).
आश्रमे यो द्विजं हन्याद्गां वा दद्यादनाश्रमे ।
किं नु तत्पातकं न स्यात्तद्वा दत्तं वृथा भवेत् ॥१४॥

14.
Whoever should kill a Brahmin (dvija) in an āśrama, or should give a cow (dāna) in (the context of) one not belonging to an āśrama: would that not be a sin? Or would that gift (dāna) be in vain?
भवन्तः सर्वलोभेन केवलं भक्षणे रताः ।

You, completely consumed by greed, are solely intent on eating. However, being deluded, you do not perceive the faults or negative consequences that arise later.

Therefore, I do not favor a way of life that is characterized by untrustworthiness, is reprehensible, stained by the destruction of purpose or wealth, and is inauspicious both in this world and the next.

The tiger (Śārdūla), renowned for his valor, considered him to be honest and wise. After offering him honor befitting his own status, he personally promoted him to the position of a minister.

O gentle one, you whose character is well-known, accompany me on this journey. May desired enjoyments be attained, and may abundant things that should be avoided be indeed rejected.

We are renowned as fierce; thus, we make this known to you. Prosperity will certainly come to you, O slayer, if you act gently first.

Then, having respectfully acknowledged that statement of the great-souled king of beasts, the jackal, bowing slightly, uttered a humble reply.

O King of beasts, this statement of yours is appropriate concerning me: that you seek pure (śuci), and proficient (kuśala) assistants in matters of natural law (dharma) and material gain (artha).

O hero, it is not possible to govern a great state (mahattva) without a minister, nor is it possible with a wicked minister who is a foe to one's very existence (śarīra).

One should strive to have allies who are loyal, uncorrupted, not conspiring among themselves, desirous of victory, and free from greed.

You should honor those wise, high-minded, and illustrious individuals - who have passed tests of integrity and are dedicated to your welfare - treating them as you would teachers and fathers.

But, O King (mṛgādhipa), nothing else brings me such satisfaction. I do not desire pleasant enjoyments or sovereignty (aiśvarya) that is dependent on you.

Indeed, my character (śīlam) will not be compatible with your old servants. Those who are ill-natured will cause discord and alienation among you in my absence.

You are far-sighted, greatly enthusiastic, possessing a grand objective, and immensely powerful. You are also accomplished, one whose deeds are unfailing, and adorned with glorious qualities.

However, I am content with my own way of life, though it has been a difficult one. I am also not familiar with service, being a forest-dweller by my own will.

Furthermore, all faults arising from royal censure apply to those who live in dependence. But a forest-dwelling life is detached, fearless, and unobstructed.

Whether it is water obtained without effort, or delicious food that brings much fear, I truly consider and find that happiness (sukha) lies only where there is contentment (nirvṛti).

This agreement has been made by him who has assumed the role of minister. O King, no harm should be received by you, who desires friendship here.

And when the meat was to be presented as food, that meat was not found. So, it was commanded by the king of beasts, 'Let the thief be searched for!'

And that meat was presented to the king of beasts by artificial means. It was brought by the minister, who, though learned, considered himself wise.

Then, upon hearing of the jackal's deceit, the lion, filled with rage, became furious. And the king desired his (the jackal's) death.

Seeing that flaw in him, those former ministers spoke: "He is indeed causing the disruption of all our livelihoods."

This sort of deed (karma) of his is protected by favoritism alone. Indeed, the master previously heard what kind of person he was, but this man is not like that.

By mere words, he is most righteous, but by nature (svabhāva) he is cruel. Indeed, this wicked person is a hypocrite concerning natural law (dharma), adopting useless practices. He put effort into vows undertaken for the sake of his objectives and for the sake of food.

When the tiger understood the removal of the meat, he then, hearing their words, commanded: 'Let the jackal be killed!'

Having heard the tiger's words, his mother then came to address the king of beasts with beneficial advice.

O son, you should not accept this, which is veiled by deceitful intentions. A pure person becomes corrupted by the impure faults that arise from the conflict of actions (karma).

No one tolerates what is exalted, because the path to exaltation generates animosity. Indeed, even on a pure and virtuous person, a defect is imposed.

To the greedy, the pure are hateful; to the timid, the powerful; to the foolish, the learned; to the poor, the wealthy; to the unrighteous, the most virtuous (dharmiṣṭha); and to the ugly, the beautiful.

False things appear to be true, and true things appear to be false. Diverse phenomena are observed, and therefore, a proper examination of them is appropriate.

Therefore, even if a matter is directly observed, it is proper to examine it thoroughly. Indeed, by examining and understanding matters, one does not regret later.

My son, it is not difficult for a ruler to have an enemy killed. However, forgiveness (kṣamā) is praiseworthy and excellent among powerful individuals in the world.

Then, from that gathering of enemies, a righteous-souled (dharma) individual, a jackal (gomāyu), arrived. And by him, it was revealed exactly how this deception had been perpetrated.

Then, his character (cāritra) being understood, he was honored and released. And he was affectionately embraced repeatedly by the king of beasts (mṛgendra).

But the jackal (gomāyu), who was skilled in the science of polity (nītiśāstra), having taken leave of the king of beasts (mṛgendra), was tormented by that indignation and wished to undertake a fast unto death (prāya).

अवारयत्स धर्मिष्ठं पूजया प्रतिपूजयन् ॥७०॥
अवारयत्स धर्मिष्ठं पूजया प्रतिपूजयन् ॥७०॥

70.
Then the tiger (śārdūla), with eyes moist from affection, restrained that most righteous (dharma) jackal (gomāyu), honoring him in return with reverence.
तं स गोमायुरालोक्य स्नेहादागतसंभ्रमम् ।
बभाषे प्रणतो वाक्यं बाष्पगद्गदया गिरा ॥७१॥

71.
The jackal, seeing him and having approached him with great agitation out of affection, humbly spoke these words with a voice choked with tears.
पूजितोऽहं त्वया पूर्वं पश्चाच्चैव विमानितः ।
परेषामास्पदं नीतो वस्तुं नार्हाम्यहं त्वयि ॥७२॥

"I was honored by you before, but then I was indeed dishonored and brought to the abode of others. I do not deserve to dwell with you."

Servants who are self-satisfied are removed from their position, degraded from their honor, and are insulted either by themselves (their masters) or by others.

74.
And also those who are utterly ruined, greedy, and cruel; those tormented by prisons; those proud ones whose possessions have been seized; and those who have abandoned what they gained, being greatly desirous (of more).
संतापिताश्च ये केचिद्व्यसनौघप्रतीक्षिणः ।

All those who are tormented, some of whom are expecting a flood of misfortunes, and who are hidden or act with deceit - they are all agents serving others' purposes.

76.
How will you come to trust me again, or how can I return, after I have been established [in a position] and then subjected to insult?

You, having accepted me as capable, having established and tested me, and having broken the agreement made, have now insulted me.

One who upholds a pledge should not speak of the flaws of someone who was initially proclaimed virtuous in an assembly.

How will you gain the trust of someone who has been thus dishonored here? And indeed, if there is no trust in you, anxiety will arise for me.

I am indeed fearful and suspicious, for others are intent on finding faults. Moreover, they are unloving and difficult to satisfy, and this endeavor (karma) is fraught with much deceit.

A broken thing is joined with difficulty, and a joined thing is broken with difficulty. But the affection (prīti) that has been broken and then rejoined does not last with genuine love (sneha).
कश्चिदेव हि भीतस्तु दृश्यते न परात्मनोः ।

Indeed, a fearful person does not distinguish between himself and others. For sentiments (bhāva) usually arise only with the expectation of some utility, but true affection (sneha) is rare.

Understanding human beings (puruṣa) is extremely difficult, for their minds are indeed very unsteady. Whether one is capable or incapable, only one in hundreds is truly comprehended.

For human beings, there is sudden engagement and sudden withdrawal, and they are capable of achieving both favorable and unfavorable outcomes (śubhāśubha) as well as greatness, all due to the shallowness of their intellect.

Having thus spoken many kinds of soothing words, which were conducive to the principles of (dharma) and practical affairs (artha), and having appeased the king, the jackal went to the forest.
अगृह्यानुनयं तस्य मृगेन्द्रस्य स बुद्धिमान् ।

86.
Not accepting the entreaty of that lion (mṛgendra), the intelligent jackal (gomāyu), having sat down to undertake a fast (prāya), abandoned his body and went to heaven.
