Translation

Překlad

Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: Once Saudāsa went to live in the forest, where he killed a man-eater [Rākṣasa] but forgave and released the man-eater’s brother. That brother, however, decided to take revenge. Thinking to harm the King, he became the cook at the King’s house. One day, the King’s spiritual master, Vasiṣṭha Muni, was invited for dinner, and the Rākṣasa cook served him human flesh.

Śukadeva Gosvāmī pravil: Kdysi šel Saudāsa žít do lesa, kde zabil jednoho lidožrouta (Rākṣasu), ale jeho bratra vzal na milost a propustil ho. Ten se však rozhodl, že se pomstí. S myšlenkou králi ublížit se stal kuchařem v jeho domě. Jednoho dne byl králův duchovní učitel Vasiṣṭha Muni pozván na oběd a Rākṣasa mu předložil maso.
