Savaiyya
There used to live a sage in ajungle that supported horns on his head and was known as a Horny.
Some thought (prevailed) that Bibhandav, the father of Horny, had gotten him through the belly of a she-deer.
He had become a sage as soon as he achieved the age of discernment.
He meditated day and night and never visited the city, not even unintentionally.(1)
By meditating in the jungle, he felt blissful.
Every day, observantly, he would orate Vedas after ablution, and revel in Godly deliberations.
He followed Six Shastras, although he would bear body-penances, he would never let his mind deviate.
When he felt hungry and thirsty, he would pick up fruits and eat.(2)
A long time had gone by, when, it is heard, a famine broke out.
Nothing to eat was left and the people started to crave even for a single kernel.
The Raja called all the learned Brahmins and asked,
‘Tell me what have I sinned that my subject is not able to subsist.’(3)
On the Raja’s query, they all responded,
‘You have been ruling according to the legacy, and have committed no sin.
‘Consulting the Simritis and the Six Shastras, all the Brahmins have reached this conclusion.
‘We have contemplated that the Horny Rikhi should be invited to your house.(4)
‘If Your Revered Honour, think appropriate, some how, Bibhandav Rikhi,
may be invited to go around blessing the city.
‘It is true, ifhe dwells in this country, the famine will be eradicated.
‘If he cannot come himself then, he may be requested to send his son,’(5)
Sortha
Extremely aggrieved, Raja sent his friends, the sons, and many others.
He, himself, fell on his feet, but the sage did not acquiesce.(6)
Savaiyya
Then all the people gathered around and contemplated, ‘what to do.’
Raja had himself tried hard, but could not get the sage to consent,
(He declared) Any body who persuades him to come, I will give him half of my kingdom.’
(People thought) ‘Ashamed (of not being able to persuade), the Raja has shut himself in the house, now we all will strive to bring the sage.’(7)
There lived a pretty prostitute; she came to Raja’s palace.
