Who is speaking and story frame
क्षुद्रं चरं सुमनसां शरणे मिथित्वा
रक्तं षडङ्घ्रिगणसामसु लुब्धकर्णम् ।
अग्रे वृकानसुतृपोऽविगणय्य यान्तं
पृष्ठे मृगं मृगय लुब्धकबाणभिन्नम् ॥ ५३ ॥
kṣudraṁ caraṁ sumanasāṁ śaraṇe mithitvā
raktaṁ ṣaḍaṅghri-gaṇa-sāmasu lubdha-karṇam
agre vṛkān asu-tṛpo ’vigaṇayya yāntaṁ
pṛṣṭhe mṛgaṁ mṛgaya lubdhaka-bāṇa-bhinnam
My dear King, please search out that deer who is engaged in eating grass in a very nice flower garden along with his wife. That deer is very much attached to his business, and he is enjoying the sweet singing of the bumblebees in his garden. Just try to understand his position. He is unaware that before him is a tiger, which is accustomed to living at the cost of another’s flesh. Behind the deer is a hunter, who is threatening to pierce him with sharp arrows. Thus the deer’s death is imminent.
