Love The Animals

PRINCE NEMKUMÄR WAS THE SON OF KING SAMUNDRA VIJAY. HE WAS ENGAGED TO PRINCESS RÄJUL. PRINCESS RÄJUL WAS THE DAUGHTER OF KING UGRASEN.

 

ON THE DAY OF THEIR MARRIAGE, PRINCE NEMKUMÄR TRAVELED TO PRINCESS RÄJUL'S PALACE IN A DECORATED CHARIOT. HE HEARD THE SCREAMING OF MANY ANIMALS AND BIRDS. PRINCE NEMKUMÄR ASKED HIS DRIVER ABOUT THIS NOISE.

THE DRIVER TOLD THE PRINCE THAT THESE ANIMALS AND BIRDS WOULD BE KILLED FOR HIS WEDDING DINNER.

THIS ANSWER MADE PRINCE NEMKUMÄR VERY SAD. HE SAID, "THE ANIMALS AND BIRDS ARE HURT WHEN THEY ARE KILLED. KILLING ANIMALS AND BIRDS FOR FOOD IS NOT NECESSARY."

PRINCE NEMKUMÄR FREED ALL THE ANIMALS AND BIRDS. HE DID NOT MARRY PRINCESS RÄJUL AND LEFT.
