Translation

Tradução

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 disse: Certa vez, Saudāsa foi viver na floresta, onde matou um canibal [Rākṣasa], mas perdoou e libertou o irmão deste. O irmão, entretanto, decidiu vingar-se. Pensando em prejudicar o rei, ele se tornou o cozinheiro da casa real. Certo dia, o mestre espiritual do rei, Vasiṣṭha Muni, foi convidado a jantar, e o cozinheiro Rākṣasa serviu-lhe carne humana.
