­­­Sri Rama and the story of a dog, the pitfalls in good deeds (Saints, cows & children).

Once a dog and a pundit reached the court of Sri Rama. They needed arbitration and judgement regarding a dispute. The dog was severely lashed by the pundit. When Sri Rama inquired for the reason, the pundit shared the story of how the dog followed him and bit him on his leg.

However, the dog was beaten mercilessly in response which was not the dharma and the case went against Pundit. The dog was asked to give him punishment. The dog told the court that there is a particular hermitage at so and so place and the pundit should be given the post of the head clergyman of monastery. The Pundit was astonished by the gift and left the court very happily.

When the pundit left, then Sri Rama inquired from the dog, for the kind of his blessings in punishment. The dog told the court that he was the chief monk of the same hermitage in his previous birth. When this Pundit will go there he will definitely do some mistake as I did and he will also turn to a dog in his next birth and will realize the punishment of being a dog.
