Thereafter a council being called, the parrot and the crow were sent for. The parrot, with his neck raised a little, sat on the seat that was offered him and said - His Imperial Majesty, the great Chitravarna commands you - If you care anything for your life or wealth, come quickly and bow to our feet; or else think of some other place to live in. The king said in a rage - Is there none among our servants here who will seize him by the neck (and turn him out)? Meghavarna rising - Sire, give but your command and I will kill the vile parrot. Sarvajna, having pacified the king and the crow, said - Please listen! That is not an assembly which has no old men in it; those are not old men who do not declare what is just. That is no justice which has no truth in it; and that is not truth which borders on (leaves room for) partakes of fraud.
