One day when all the children were playing in the court-yard a stork came and sat perched on the top of the palace. The princes attempted to catch hold of it. A sannyāsin who came there then informed the children that the stork was none other than Agniśikha, a demon, who had come there to capture and take away the children. All the children then tried to drop it down by arrows. But none succeeded. Then Śṛṅgabhuja took a golden arrow from the palace and sent it against the bird. The arrow struck the demon but the bird flew away carrying the golden arrow. - [Previous: c7.541](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.541) - [Next: c7.543](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.543) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.542](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.542) · Pramāṇa
