Bhishma said: Listen, O Partha, to this ancient narrative (itihāsa), the true account of the dialogue between a vulture and a jackal, which took place long ago in Vidiśa.

Some people, distressed and overwhelmed with grief, wept as they carried the child who had not yet reached youth, and who was indeed the very essence of their family.

Then, taking the dead child, they stood facing the cremation ground. They then passed him from lap to lap and wept on the ground.

Hearing the sound of their weeping, a vulture approached and said: "Leave this one, who is now a single soul (ātman) in the world, and go without delay!"
इह पुंसां सहस्राणि स्त्रीसहस्राणि चैव हि ।

In this world, thousands of men and thousands of women are indeed brought together by time (kāla). Were they ever truly without relatives?

Observe this entire world, which is pervaded by joys and sorrows. Association and disassociation are experienced in succession.

Those who carry (the dead) and those who follow those deceased persons, they too, as living beings, depart according to their own measure of life.

It is enough (to have) stayed in this dreadful cremation ground, which is teeming with vultures and jackals, abounding in skeletons, and terrifying to all living beings.

No one who has met the natural law (dharma) of time (death) is ever revived, whether they are dear or hated. Such is the inevitable course for all living beings.
सर्वेण खलु मर्तव्यं मर्त्यलोके प्रसूयता ।
कृतान्तविहिते मार्गे को मृतं जीवयिष्यति ॥१०॥

Indeed, everyone born in the mortal world must certainly die. Who can revive the dead on the path ordained by fate?
कर्मान्तविहिते लोके चास्तं गच्छति भास्करे ।
गम्यतां स्वमधिष्ठानं सुतस्नेहं विसृज्य वै ॥११॥

As the sun (bhāskara) sets and the day's tasks in this world come to an end, indeed, let your own dwelling place be reached, abandoning your affection for your son.
ततो गृध्रवचः श्रुत्वा विक्रोशन्तस्तदा नृप ।

12.
Then, O king, having heard the vulture's words, those relatives, wailing, went away, abandoning the son on the ground.
विनिश्चित्याथ च ततः संत्यजन्तः स्वमात्मजम् ।
निराशा जीविते तस्य मार्गमारुह्य धिष्ठिताः ॥१३॥

tasya jīvite nirāśāḥ mārgam āruhya dhiṣṭhitāḥ
13.
And then, having made a firm decision, those who had abandoned their own son, despairing of his life, mounted the road and departed.
ध्वाङ्क्षाभ्रसमवर्णस्तु बिलान्निःसृत्य जम्बुकः ।

14.
A jackal, dark-colored like a crow or a cloud, emerged from its burrow. He then addressed those who were departing, exclaiming, "Indeed, humans are heartless!"
आदित्योऽयं स्थितो मूढाः स्नेहं कुरुत मा भयम् ।

15.
This sun is still (in the sky), O foolish ones! Show your affection and do not fear. For a moment (of life) has many forms, and (the child) might even live someday.
यूयं भूमौ विनिक्षिप्य पुत्रस्नेहविनाकृताः ।

16.
Having cast your son down on the ground, devoid of paternal affection, why do you, O heartless ones, depart after abandoning your son in this cremation ground?
न वोऽस्त्यस्मिन्सुते स्नेहो बाले मधुरभाषिणि ।

17.
There is no affection in you for this son, this sweet-speaking child, by whose mere utterance you would normally experience delight.
न पश्यथ सुतस्नेहं यादृशः पशुपक्षिणाम् ।
न येषां धारयित्वा तान्कश्चिदस्ति फलागमः ॥१८॥

18.
Do you not observe the kind of filial affection shown by animals and birds? For them, there is no benefit (phalāgama) whatsoever from having raised their offspring.

19.
The affection-bound attachment of living beings—quadrupeds, birds, and insects—whose ultimate destination is the other world, is like the ritual actions (yajña) of ascetics (muni).
तेषां पुत्राभिरामाणामिह लोके परत्र च ।

20.
For those who delight in children, no benefit (guṇa) is observed, either in this world or in the next, yet they still maintain their offspring.
अपश्यतां प्रियान्पुत्रान्नैषां शोकोऽनुतिष्ठति ।
न च पुष्णन्ति संवृद्धास्ते मातापितरौ क्वचित् ॥२१॥

21.
For these (creatures), if they do not see their beloved offspring, no sorrow arises. Nor do those grown-up (offspring) ever nourish their mother and father.
मानुषाणां कुतः स्नेहो येषां शोको भविष्यति ।
इमं कुलकरं पुत्रं कथं त्यक्त्वा गमिष्यथ ॥२२॥

22.
How can there be affection among humans, when sorrow is destined for them? How will you depart, abandoning this son who is the perpetuator of your family (kula)?
चिरं मुञ्चत बाष्पं च चिरं स्नेहेन पश्यत ।

23.
Shed tears for a long time, and gaze with affection for a long time. For indeed, such beloved (iṣṭāni) ones are especially difficult to abandon.

Where relatives (bāndhavāḥ) stand by one who is wasted away, afflicted, and facing the cremation ground, no other person stays there.

Life (prāṇa) is dear to everyone, and everyone experiences affection. Observe the kind of affection (sneha) that exists even among beings (satām) in the animal kingdom (tiryagyonuṣu).

How can you two abandon this person, whose long eyes are as captivating as trembling lotuses, who is adorned with a ritual bath and garlands as if newly wed?

The Vulture said: Oh, shame! You weak-willed men, who have been spoken to by this exceedingly cruel jackal of little intelligence, why do you turn back?

Why do you mourn this thing, abandoned by the five elements, empty, and reduced to the state of a log, which is inert? Why do you not mourn your own true self (ātman)?

Indeed, perform intense austerity (tapas), by which you will be freed from sin. Everything is obtained through austerity (tapas). What will lamentation accomplish?

Understand that both unfavorable destinies (bhāgya) and their manifestations (mūrti) are intrinsically linked. Through this, this world, having given rise to endless sorrow, continues its existence.

Just as actions (karma) are performed among beings, so too happiness and sorrow are obtained. A living being (jantu) is born, having embraced both sorrows and joys.

A son is not bound by the deeds (karma) of his father, nor is a father by the deeds (karma) of his son. Each proceeds on a distinct path, leaving behind their own good and bad actions.

Follow the natural law (dharma) with diligence, and turn away from unrighteousness. Moreover, behave appropriately at all times towards deities and the twice-born (dvija).

Give up grief and wretchedness, and detach yourselves from affection for sons. Let this (attachment or worldly concern) be abandoned in the atmosphere (ākāśa); then quickly turn back.

Whatever good deed one performs, and likewise any extremely terrible unrighteousness (adharma), the doer alone experiences its consequence. What role, then, do relatives play in this?

In this world, relatives do not linger after they have left a dear relative (to death). Releasing their affection, they depart with eyes full of tears and clouded.

What will you achieve by grieving? Why do you lament the dead? Indeed, Time (kāla) is the master of all, and by its very nature (dharma), it is impartial.

The jackal said: "Alas, your affection has been diminished here by this unintelligent vulture, while you are overwhelmed by love for your son and grieving intensely."

That you are abandoning an affection (sneha) that is difficult to relinquish, and going towards the one dwelling in water, swayed by the appropriate, well-uttered, and polite words (of the vulture).

Alas, due to the separation from your son, and from (the thought of) resorting to a place devoid of (true) corpses (since your son is alive), there is indeed intense sorrow for those who cry out, just like cows separated from their calves.

Today I understand the sorrow of humans on earth; for indeed, seeing such piteous affection (sneha), my tears also came forth.

Indeed, continuous effort should always be made. What is accomplished ultimately succeeds through destiny. Both destiny and human endeavor (puruṣakāra) are brought together by the final outcome (kṛtānta).

One should always cultivate freedom from despondency (anirveda). For, how can happiness arise from despondency (nirveda)? Indeed, one's purpose (artha) is attained through effort. Why do you abandon (your path), O pitiless ones?

Where will you go, having abandoned in the forest the one who is sustained by your own very being and flesh (ātman-māṃsa-upavṛtta), who is a form made of half your body, and who continues the lineage of your ancestors (pitṛ)?

Indeed, why do you not leave, having abandoned tears for the bewildered soul (jīva)? For this affection (sneha) is meaningless, and [similarly] all attachment (parigraha) is useless.

Indeed, even one endowed with asceticism (tapas) is not spared when their time comes (meaning they too are harmed/destroyed). This very place marks the cessation of all attachments, for it is the city of the departed.

This child will not regain life through the words of a jackal. For someone whose body has been abandoned after death, there is no re-embodiment.

Indeed, this child cannot be brought back to life, neither by offering a form (or effigy) nor even by hundreds of jackals, not even for hundreds of years.

Neither by shedding tears, nor indeed by offering consolation, nor by prolonged weeping here, will life return.

A wise person should keep far away from the unpleasant, harsh words, hostility towards others, coveting another's wife, unrighteous conduct (adharma), and falsehood.

One should diligently seek truth, righteous conduct (dharma), what is good, what is just, great compassion for living beings, straightforwardness, and honesty.
