The princes asked, "How was this?" Vishnusharma related - There is, on the bank of the Godavari, a large silk-cotton tree. There, coming from regions in different directions, birds were wont to roost at night. Once, when the night was almost spent, and the divine Moon, lord of the night-lotus, was pending on the crest of the setting mountain, a crow, Laghupatanaka (Swift-flier) by name, who was awake, saw a fowler advancing like a second God of death. Seeing him he reflected "To-day I have had an unwelcome sight in the early morning. I know not what evil it forebodes." Saying so he set out, much disturbed at heart, following up his (the fowler's) course. For, Thousands of occasions for sorrow, and hundreds for fear, day by day, overtake the fool and not the wise man.
