The Lion and the Bull (Stories of Panchatantra) IN ENGLISH

Once was a merchant named Vanmala. As a business man he travelled very quietly. At that time, the ox-cart, horse and carriage were the preferred way to travel from one place to another.

While Vanmala travelled through a jungle on the banks of the Jamuna River, one of his Sanjeevaka oxen collapsed. Vanmala was a very busy man. He called some of his servants and asked them to take care of the ox.

"Take care of Bullock!" If he goes well, take him to the next village next to you. otherwise... "Vanmala stopped at contemplating the sick face of the ox and did not finish his sentence." Somehow he felt that the ox would not live long...

The servants nodded and stood behind in the woods with the ox. But as the night came, the servants were frightened and nervous. The jungle was a scary place and at night it seemed dangerous. The servants were stiffly frightened. They saw the ox furious. The ox was tired and sick. The servants did not want to spend another night in the jungle. So they left the ox in the middle of the jungle and went to the nearest town.

They met Vanmala in the nearby town. "What happened...?" Vanmala asked to see his servants.

"Lord..." "One of the servants said hesitantly:"... "Lord, the Ox... He looked at the others. All the servants had decided to lie Vanmala. "The Ox is dead, sir." The servant said that the other servants also nodded their heads.

Vanmala nods. He could not find out that his slaves were lying to him. It was an old Bullock, after all. ' OK... Take a break now... We have work to do in the morning.... The servants nodding and happily went to sleep in their room.

However, Bullock Sanjeevaka was far from dead. The ox was tired of all the trips. When the servants of the Vanmala Sanjeevaka left behind, they had done something very good for the ox. The beef took enough rest and there was a lot of food in the forest. Take the rest and eat a lot of food, Sanjeevaka turned his strength. Sanjeevaka was happy and quickly became very strong.

The jungle was ruled by Pingalaka, a bold and strong lion. But the lion had not seen many oxen in his life. Once, when he drank the water of the Jamuna River, Pingalaka heard the loud and cheerful Sanjeevaka. Although Pingalaka was a courageous lion, he was afraid when he heard this noise, since he had never heard it in his whole life. Pingalaka escaped from the river and went deep into the forest away from the noise. Pingalaka knew that he should be the king of the forest and that he would not have been afraid. He sat in the hope that no one saw him flee. But two jackal-Karataka and Damanaka had seen that Pingalaka flee in terror.

Karataka and Damanaka were the children of the Ministers of Pingalaka. However, Pingalaka had rejected the parents of Karataka and Damanaka because they were not trustworthy.

Looking at all this, Karataka wanted to erase all this and go on. I did not want to interfere with things that do not affect them. Damanaka, however, wanted to become the King's minister. I knew if he became a minister, he'd have a lot of power. Damanaka also knew that he would get a lot of food if he was the King's minister.

Finally Karataka agreed and Damanaka went to the king.

"Lord!" Damanaka said crouching before the king, "I know...." I know something is bothering you... If you tell me what I am, will help you, sir!

Pingalaka asked me if I had to say any jackal or not... Damanaka was the son of a licensed minister. It does not need as the king at all... But finally Pingalaka decided that he had nothing to lose. I would always be careful with Damanaka. And also Damanaka can have a good idea...

So Pingalaka told the Jackal about the snort he heard. Damanaka nods and said, "Your Majesty!" I don't think you should be afraid of any noise, not knowing what it is. however... "Damanaka said, by taking the king, if all goes well with you sir, I will go and examine the noise..." '

Pingalaka was silent. Now he clearly felt uncomfortable to trust the Jackal. However, he decided that if the sound was a dangerous thing, it would be better to send the first jackal.

"OK, Damanaka," said the King shaking the Jackal, "go see what the noise is..."

 

Damaka nodded and slowly approached the place where Sanjeevaka was happy to dance and sniff. When he saw the bull, Damanaka almost laughed. Pingalaka The Great King was afraid of the bull. That's good news. As soon as I tell the King that he is only a bull, the king will make me a minister... Damanaka smiles... Things went very well...

Damanaka went to Pingalaka and bowed respectfully to him: "Lord, this sound was made by a bull Lord!"

Pingalaka looked Damanaka very confident and a little embarrassed too, "a bull?" He asked Damanaka with contempt.

Damanaka has bowed again, "Yes sir!" and Sir, please, I bring the bull to your servant, sir!

Pingalaka thought of everything that Damanaka said. Damanaka knew he was scared. of a bull. Pingalaka made a grimace. A bull... who could make a snort would indeed be a very powerful creature... It would be great to be a being like my friend.... Damanaka would be able to serve me once more...

"Damanaka!" Pingalaka groans: "If you really make this bull my servant, I will like you as my minister..." '

Damanaka bent and walked away without saying anything to feel happy.

He went to Sanjeevaka. "Bull, what are you doing here?" He claimed to be angry and asked the bull.

The bull looked at the jackal startled and disturbed, "I am only a poor bullock." My Master left me. "I have recovered my health now..."

Damanaka hid a smile and made himself furious: "Do you know that you are in the kingdom of the Great King-Pingalaka.?" It's his forest. You dare to come here and take our grass and not even tell us... '

Sanjeevaka spoke in trembling tones, "I am a city ox." I don't know anything about the rules of the jungle...

Damanaka cut, "Ignorance is no excuse!" "The King is furious, he eats!"

Sanjeevaka shook his head and said trembling: "Please, Jackal Sage, please tell the king of me...» Tell him not to eat me.

Damanaka looked at him coldly, "I will speak to the king, but I cannot promise him anything..." He said and went away.

Damanaka then came to Pingalaka and said, "Lord!" You were right! It's not an ordinary animal. He said it was Lord Shiva's vehicle. But I also told you that you Parvati the vehicle of the goddess. I told him that he must speak to you to graze permission in our countries... "Pingalaka looked wonderfully at the intelligence of the Damanaka." "He has accepted, as long as he is assured that he will not harm him in any way sir..."

Pingalaka slowly nods and accepts. His doubts about the disappearance of Damanaka. "Get him here!"

Damanaka then went to Sanjeevaka. "This king promised to see you." But don't feel too proud to be the King's new friend. If you do not respect me and work with me, I can assure you that you will lose the favor of the king. Damanaka said with a silky menace.

Sanjeevaka nodded and finally agreed to see the king. Pingalaka fills the healthy Sanjeevaka. They greeted each other and finally told him Sanjeevaka all about himself. "I was left behind." It's Her Majesty. Now I'm here to ask for your safety.

Pingalaka smiled, "You have to my friend!" even bigger animals feel dangerous!

Pingalaka made Damanaka and Karataka his ministers.

The Jackals felt that the lion would spend most of his time with Sanjeevaka and let them manipulate the affairs of the State, but this plan was defeated. Pingalaka Sanjeevaka to trust in the affairs of the State. To supplement this, Pingalaka was to abandon the hunt, according to the teachings of Sanjeevaka.

This made Damanaka and Karataka very angry because they ate the remains of what Pingalaka had killed. Often they had to go hungry... The two boys decided that they had created a battle between Pingalaka and Sanjeevaka.

Then Damanaka went to Pingalaka and spoke to him, "Lord!" Your friendship with Sanjeevaka... '

Pingalaka saw Damanaka furiously: "What about...?" He said he shoved his paws furiously.

"It's someone who eats grass and you're someone who eats other animals, sir." Always eat grass, but you gave up your food... for him... you don't feel it, sir? Damanaka asked to pretend to be angry. "Don't you feel weak while Sanjeevaka will be stronger and stronger...?"

To hear the words of Damanaka, the Pingalaka were made angry. "He's a good friend, and he told me a lot of knowledge..." '

 

"Good friend"? "Damanaka says with a smile, a good friend who wants you weaker than him so that he can kill you and manage the affairs of the State itself..." "Damanaka said dry, as he is, he is responsible for the affairs of the forest." He just wants the control complete... '

"A lie...!" Pingalaka shouted and caught himself in Damanaka. Damanaka avoided the paw, but saw the king for a while. Intelligently Damanaka said nothing and went away. He left the king to his own thoughts.

Damannaka then went to Sanjeevaka and nods his head painfully. "Did I not tell you to keep us as your friends...?"

Sanjeevaka looked Damanaka surprised. "When are you going to stop being friends with you...?" They have always been... '

Damanaka laughed without any form of humor, "You taught the King not to kill other animals." It is not in its nature... It is a predator.... He is starving most of the time.... Damanaka looked at Sanjjevaka and whispered to him. "He plans to kill you Sanjeevaka...so that he can regain his energy and become the mighty sovereign again." '

Sanjeeka again Damanaka, "You lie!"... Pingalaka is a good lion. He's smart... '

«.. . " And he is a predator.... " "Damanaka said to interrupt." "I don't want anything to happen to you, so let yourself be ready when you meet Pingalaka next time." I recommend you to flee. But I do not think you will hear so please be careful... '

Sanjeevaka has shaken his head, but already a shadow of doubt was formed in his head.

Pingalaka also thought of the words of the Jackal and decided to be cautious about Sanjeevaka.

When Pingalaka Sanjeevaka the next day, he saw that the bull was sniffing and holding his horns ready to attack him. Pingalaka was furious. Why is this ox pricked? He's really going to kill me. I have my friend... he gave the utmost respect and listened, and that is how I pay... I will... '

Poor Sanjeevaka doesn't even have a chance. The lion threw him up and killed him even before he had a chance. Damanaka and Karataka saw this on the happy side that they had realized what they had wanted for their cunning, and made sure that they were the ministers, and they have a lot of food.

Pingalaka Unfortunately lost a good friend of rash action...

This is the most important story of the first part of the Panchatantra. The other stories are woven into the most important story as part of dialogues between the main characters...

 

 

Gatothgaja -1 IN ENGLISH

Duryodhana, Major Kauravas was really jealous of his cousins-the Pandavas. After the death of Pele and Madri + D, the Pandavas had returned from the forest with her mother Kunti, Duryodhana could not bear it. Duryodhana saw the Pandavas as his enemy and did not care who knew it.

The crazy jealousy of Duryodhana and eating and was not supported by the fact that Bheema, the second Pandava, was fiercely strong. Even when I was a child, Bheema was a very strong and Bheema found the fragile Kauravas very funny.

Bheema was born and raised in the woods. The rough jungle had just Bheema strengthened and Bheema, but contempt for the soft Kauravas, who knew no more than the luxury of the palace.

Bheema used to intimidate the Kauravas and the Kauravas were really frightened of him. In fact, when used to see Bheema, the Kauravas used to hide in the trees. And Bheema would still not leave the Kauravas alone. Bheema used to be at the bottom of the tree and with his savage force, Bheema uses to shake the same tree.

The boys of Kauravas fell out of the tree like fruit and were shaken and fled by the young Bheema who laughed at the escape of Kauravas princes.

And all these events only made Duryodhana hate the Pandavas even more.

The hatred of Duryodhana for the Pandavas and the Bheema is peculiar that when everything began to learn the war and the science of the administration of the Kingdom of Dronacharya, Duryodhana really tried to kill Bheema.

Duryodhana poisoned the food that was to be eaten by Bheema and when the stunned Bheema fell unconscious, Duryodhana the hands and feet of the Bheema and pushed the second Pandava into the river.

And without a second glance, Duryodhana moved away from the place.

Luckily for Bheema, the place under the river where Duryodhana had pushed him had a huge kingdom of snakes. Snakes Bite the unconscious Bheema as it sank into the waters. The poison in the body of Bheema and the venom of the serpent acted as antidote to each other and the venom of the Bheema system was completely gone when it came to the kingdom of the Serpents.

And spoke with the serpents, Bheema realized that he was connected with serpents by his mother--Kunti. The snakes were very happy for their new visitors, but they had come to them in unfortunate circumstances. In honor of his new guests, the snakes fed Bheema with the nectar of snakes. It is believed that this drink is actually made Bheema even stronger than before.

And so the first plan of the Duryodhana to kill Bheema was seriously wounded. After the urging of the Bheema into the river, Duryodhana returned to the palace and claimed that he had no knowledge of what was happening with Bheema. Kunti and the Pandavas were plagued and continued to comb the river for some signs of Bheema and that was when they had a hint of foul play. But Duryodhana was silent and said absolutely nothing.

Duryodhana almost thought he had escaped with him when the impossible happened. Bheema came back from the dead. And not only that, Bheema came back even stronger than before. and a little wiser.

The event was a revelation-both for the Pandavas and for the Duryodhana.

Duryodhana realized that he would have to be more cautious to get rid of his pesky cousins in the future because they seemed to be happy and the Pandavas realized that Duryodhana was really crazy in his jealousy and that there was no line that Duryodhana not de Croix Si sig Nificó The destruction of the Pandavas.

That's why the Pandavas never talked about the incident. The Pandavas feared that if you talked about incorporating Duryodhana into the whole question, Duryodhana could do something even more horrible.

But just because the Pandavas were still, he did not Duryodhana to change his mind. Duryodhana was as bad as ever and his plans, if something more daring and the next time, Duryodhana had an even bolder plan to kill the Pandavas.

 

Duryodhana spoke very well of a place called Varanavatha, where the great festival should be organized in honor of Lord Shiva. Duryodhana manipulated the things he sent the Pandavas to Varanavatha and in the time the Pandavas went there, Duryodhana had built a beautiful palace. The palace was one of the most beautiful buildings of its time and certainly the fuel-because the palace was made from the lake.

 

And Duryodhana was a patient this time. He did not want any of the events that never lead to him, so Duryodhana wanted for a whole year. The Pandavas had lived in the palace of Vanaravatha for a whole year, when Duryodhana by one of his men named Purochana, put his plan in action.

In the death of the night, when a great feast took place during the day, when Duryodhana was sure that the Pandavas were deeply asleep, Duryodhana asked Purochana to put the entire palace on fire.

In the death of the night, a fire broke out at the Palacio Lac de Varanavata. The Palace lake was built entirely of things that could burn and burn very easily. The time between the beginning of the fire and the spread of the fire was therefore too short.

The people of Varanavata were horrified when they saw that the entire Lake Palace fell into flames. People tried to use the flames of the palace, and it was then that they discovered something impossible-the fire spread too quickly. Too fast, only in case of a normal fire. The fire was still furious and there was no part of the palace that had escaped even the fire.

The next morning was a charred body of a woman with five men in the palace and the people were frightened.

They all recognized that the Pandavas had disappeared, and this time there was no one to bring them back. And the fire had begun from the room in which Purochana slept, which was also killed in the fire.

So the whole kingdom believed that the wicked Purochana had set fire to the Palace of the lake and the same Purochana died in the fire.

Back in Hastinapur, Duryodhana could not conceal his delight when he heard of the six corpses found in the Lake Palace. And with the death of the Purochana, Duryodhana realized that another loose end was tied up and this time nothing I could bring back to him. And Duryodhana was really happy. He felt that he had got rid of the Pandavas in a masterful movement and that he had done without any suspicion that they would come to him.

 

Gatothgaja - 2 IN ENGLISH

Before leaving the Vanaravata, the Pandavas paid all the oldest Hastinapur.

At the end of the day, the Pandavas met with the man who was wise over his age, and through his huge espionage system knew almost everything that was happening in the kingdom of Hastinapur and outside of him.

As Yudhishtara blessing, Major Pandava, something strange happened.

The scholar spoke in the language of Mlechchas, instead of the language spoken in Hastinapur. This language was not known to anyone in the Kingdom of Hastinapur and the words of the dura sounded like a total outfit-except one person. The person for whom it was destined – Yudhishtara.

Yudhishtara, Major Pandava knew the language of the Mlechchas and was constantly concerned because he understood exactly what the last one said.

"You must know what your enemies are instead and avoid the dangers." And remember that fire can not destroy someone who hides under the hole in the forest and if you are in a strange house, it is better to make like a jackal and not to an escape route, but to make many trips.

Yudhishtara looked at him, who studied his nephew with dangerous eyes, as a perdura in the same language continued, sometimes son, it is better to continue to wander from one place to another to acquire knowledge and in this way also keep your five senses ' Sure. "

Yudhishtara was silent when the last Yudhishtara studied.

"I understand!" Yudhishtara said in the same language as a sudden frizzy smile broke in the face of Dural.

Soon the Pandavas left the house of Dural and rejected the Pandavas and his mother Kunti as it was proposed to the Vanaravata.

The Pandavas were then from the realm of Hastinapur and went as a confused Kunti came to his son.

"What did the last thing say?" asked Yudhishtara. "And I didn't even know what they were saying in return."

Yudhishtara saw the Kingdom of Hastinapur far behind him and took a deep breath as he saw his mother and the brothers saw him, in all undeniable.

"It will be a fire." A great fire and we must escape! Yudhishtara said at last.

*********

The Pandavas were collected by a man named Purochana in the town of Vanaravata. He saw the Pandavas and told them that he was there to help them. The Pandavas then met all the senior officials of the city of Vanravata and the people were glad to see the Pandavas.

Finally, with the help of Purochana, they went into the palace which was built for them in the town of Vanravata.

It was a beautiful palace, from every stretch of imagination.

Yudhishtara saw the palace and nods in Purochana. "We want to inspect the palace itself!" Yudhishtara said Purochana. "It was so beautifully built."

Purochana nods, without saying anything, as he walked away leaving the six alone.

Hurried to the Pandavas in the palace and all were bombarded because they made a sad discovery. The beautiful palace was powered and was built with resin, hemp, straw, bamboo and butter and lake!

All I needed was a little spark and the fire in the palace would not be controllable and would destroy everything.

Yudhishtara turned to Bheema, "we must build an underground tunnel outside the palace." In secret. No one can know. We operate normally for the outside world, but we work in the tunnel every day.

"Tunnel?" Bheema asked how Yudhishtara nods.

"After the fire escape, what then?" Bheema asked his eyes to burst with rage.

Yudhishtara reminded of the text of the last.

"We're moving forward." Yudhishtara said slowly. "At this moment we have neither the power nor the rank in the country." Once everyone thinks we're dead, nobody's looking for us. "Then we can move freely and go to all the kingdoms of the country, build alliances and make us strong!"

Purochana was very friendly with the Pandavas and tried to make his stay as pleasant as possible. When he spoke vividly of the place, a strange man came to see Yudhishtara.

Yudhishtara looked at the man who with his hard and thick hands seemed a kind of manual worker. What really surprised Yudhishtara was that the man was introduced into the Mlechcha language.

Yudhishtara left Purochana and turned to the newcomer and brought him into the inner chamber and for what it was worth to answer in the language of Mlechchas.

"Who Are you?" Yudhishtara asked the man.

"I am a miner!" said the man in the same language, "and sent me to the last to help him."

A beautiful smile broke out in the face of the Yudhishtara as he cheerfully nods to the man.

And so, with the help of the miner, in the midst of the palace, the Pandavas dug a tunnel outside the palace. They hid the hole of the tunnel through a blackboard to make sure that Purochana lived outside the palace, I did not know what they were doing.
