The Tale of Jaradgava and Dirghakarna

Once upon a time, on the verdant banks of the sacred River Ganges, there stood a magnificent tree with a hollow that whispered ancient stories. In this cradle of life, there lived a venerable vulture named Jaradgava. Age had not been kind to Jaradgava; his once proud eyes were now dull and his fearsome talons rendered useless by fate’s capricious hand. Yet, in the tree, he found sanctuary and purpose, for the other birds, with hearts kindled by compassion, brought him morsels of their prey, and in return, he watched over their delicate young.

One fateful day, while the birds foraged afar, stealth snaked into their home in the form of Dirghakarna, a sly cat with a plot most wicked. The nestlings shrieked in terror upon his prowling approach, fear painting their tiny hearts. But Jaradgava, despite his blindness, felt the shiver of deceit riding the breeze. “Who dares threaten my charges?” he thundered, his voice echoing the might of his younger years.

Dirghakarna, with fur as soft as whispers and eyes aglimmer with guile, concocted a tale as false as his intentions. “Oh wise Jaradgava, seer of truths unseen, I come in search of knowledge, not a meal. The sacred teachings call to me, and who better to learn from than one as learned as you?” he proclaimed, invoking the warmth of faith falsely sworn.

Days rolled into nights, moon into sun, and Dirghakarna’s true nature unfurled like nightshade in the dark, as younglings vanished, swallowed by shadows and silence. Despair clawed at the parents when they discovered the dreadful truth, and blame fell upon the old guardian who had sought nothing but their well-being.
