A Dog vulture and owl justice story

A dog story

One day lakshman went outside the gate of ram's court. There He found a dog crying. Lakshman asked the dog the reason of his crying. Dog said - "I want to narrate everything in front of Ram. I am prohibited to enter any Dev Temple or Raaj (royal) Temple because of being born in lower species. Therefore you pray to Ram on my behalf." Lakshman came inside and said to Ram - "There is one dog standing outside and wants to say something to you." Ram ordered Lakshman to bring him in soon.

By the order of Ram, Lakshman brought the dog in the royal court. Ram asked the dog - "Tell me everything fearlessly without hesitation." The dog said - "O king, A king takes care of his public according to Dharm. Charity, kindness, respect to gentle people is called Dharm. You yourself is the ocean of Dharm qualities, so you know everything. I am of a very low mental level, so please pardon me if I say anything in ignorance. Sarvarth Siddhi named beggar has hit me with a stick without any of my fault."

Then by the order of Ram that beggar was called. Ram asked him as why did he hit the dog with stick? The beggar said - "I was hungry and wandering around for food. Unfortunately I did not get any alms. This dog was standing in my way. I was so much perplexed because of being hungry and not getting alms that when I saw him standing in my way, I hit him with the stick. my king, I accept that I am guilty."

Ram asked His ministers. Bhrigu, Kashyap, Vashishth etc said - "O king, You know the punishment code. Whatever you think proper, prescribe the same punishment. Of course, life sentence to Brahman is prohibited by Shastra, all know this." At the same time dog said - "I request you about prescribing the punishment to this beggar, that you send him on the position of Chancellor in Kalanjar Pradesh." Ram said - "As you wish. Appoint him as the Kulapati in Kalanjar and send him to Kalanjar riding on an elephant. Brahman went away happily riding on the elephant.

After Brahman had left, ministers asked Ram - "My king, You have honored him with the donation rather than punishing him? What kind of punishment is this?" Ram asked the dog - "Please open the secret of this kind of punishment."

The dog said - "King, In my previous life, I was the Kulapati in Kaalanjar. I used to worship Braahman and Devtaa observing Dharm, but my all actions went waste, and in the end I got this lower species. Now this angry Braahman will also get the same lower species. An angry, or A-Dharmee man, whether he is the in-charge of Dev temple or a cow-herd, or the wealthy Braahman, he definitely suffers Narak upto seven lives." Hearing dog, Raam was very surprised. Then the dog went to Kaashee from there.

Vulture and owl story

There were two birds, a vulture and an owl, in a forest for several years. Evil-natured vulture had taken owl's nest. So they both started fighting. Then both went to Ram. First vulture greeted Him and said - "Hey respectable to all kings, gracious like Sun, stable like Himvaan, forgiver like Prithvi, deep like ocean, I am in your shelter. See, I built a nest with my own hands and this owl wants to take it. Please help me." Owl said - "O king, You are visible Narayan in human being's form.your body has part of chandramaa, sorya,kuber and yam in the form of human king Please listen to my plight. This vulture has taken my nest. Kindly get my nest back."

Ram called Jayant, Ashok, Dharmpaal, Sumantra etc ministers and asked the vulture and the owl - "When did you build your nest?" Vulture said - "When the Creation was started, this nest was built at the same time." Owl said - "I own this nest since the trees started growing on the Earth." Ram asked His ministers about this, the ministers said - "Owl seems speaking truth and vulture seems speaking lie. Because owl is happy and vulture is not happy. You are the king. Whoever gets punishment from you, he doesn't go to Narak."

Then Ram said - "I tell you a Pauraanic story, listen to that. Before the Creation started, Prithvi along with Chandra, Soorya, Aakaash Parvat and forests and the three Lok, leaving Paramatma alone, was sunk in water. When Vishnu was sleeping keeping Lakshmee in His stomach, then Mahaa Yogee Brahmaa also entered in His stomach.

Later a lotus appeared from Vishnu's navel. Brahma appeared from this lotus only. Then He created Prithvi with Vayu and Parvat etc. At the same time, two terrible Asur, Madhu and Kaitabh, appeared from the earwax of Vishnu. They both attacked Brahmaa , but Vishnu recognized the voice of Brahmaa, He killed both Raakshas. This Prithvi became wet with their flesh (Med), that is why it is called medinee. Vishnu cleaned it and then grains and trees etc started growing up. Owl says that he built the nest at the time when trees grew, so his words are true. This vulture is an evil liar, that is why it should be punished.

At The same time Aakashvanee (heavenly voice) said - "Hey Ram, this vulture has already been suffering from a severe punishment, therefore do not punish him any more. He is a very truthful king named Brahmdatt. One day he offered meat to a Braahman in ignorance while feeding him. So Braahman gave him Shaap to be a vulture. king asked the Braahman - "When I will be freed from your Shaap?" Braahman got pity on him, he said - "There will be a king named Ram in Ikshwaaku Vansh, when He will touch you then you will be freed" Hearing this as soon as Raam touched the vulture, he became a divine man and said to Raam - "Hey Dharm Raaj, Today I am freed from that terrible Shaap.
