The Hawk said : O king, I do not ask for a bull or any other meat or meat more than what is in that pigeon. He (the pigeon) is my food today ordained by the gods. Therefore give him up to me.
श्येन उवाच नोक्षाणं राजन् पार्थयेयं न चान्यदस्मान्मांसमधिकं वा कपोतात्। देवैर्दत्तः सोध्यं ममैष भक्षस्तन्मे ददस्व शकुनानामभावात्॥
