c4.t1.72
The ox of a ploughman is struck accidentally with his ploughshare, and for this again the king is to blame; a milkman is kicked and upset by a vicious cow early in the morning—the king is at fault; a mother-cow is sore at heart on seeing her dear dappled calf killed—for this the village boys curse the king; even a frog does not spare him when it is beaten by the hungry crows.²
