Then following (with difficulty) the advice of her husband she laid her eggs there. Having heard all that, the sea too, wishing to know their strength, carried off their eggs. Then the female tittibha, smitten with grief, said to her husband - Lord, evil has befallen us. Those my eggs are lost. The male said - Fear not, my dear. With these words he called together a council of birds and repaired into the presence of Garuda, the king of the feathered tribes. On reaching the place, the tittibha related the whole affair before the divine Garuda (saying) - Lord, without any fault, I, who was stationed in my house, was wronged by the sea. Having heard his words, Garuda besought the Lord, the divine Narayana, the author of the creation, preservation and destruction of the universe, who ordered the sea to restore the eggs. Then having placed on the crown of his head (obeyed with deep reverence) the divine order, the sea returned the eggs to the tittibha. Hence, I say - Without knowing the relation of principal and subordinate, &c. The king asked - How is it to be known that he is maliciously disposed (towards me)? Damanaka replied - Your Highness will know it when he, full of pride, will approach you, ready to strike with the tips of his horns and like one dismiayed (or bewildered). Having uttered these words, he went to Samjivaka. On reaching the place, he, approaching gently, presented himself like one amazed. Samjivaka inquired with affectionate regard - Friend, are you happy? Damanaka replied - How can there be any happiness for servants? For, the riches of those who are in royal service are in another's power; their mind is always uneasy, and they have no surety even of their lives.
