Once a haughty Vaiśya knocked down a young sage named Kaśyapa, with his chariot. The disgraced sage decided to commit suicide. Knowing this Indra went to the sage in the form of a fox and spoke to him, dwelling upon the evil aspects of suicide. At last the young sage gave up the idea of committing suicide and returned to his hermitage. (M.B. Śānti Parva, Chapter 130). - [Previous: c7.910](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.910) - [Next: c7.912](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.912) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7) ## Cites (1) - [Mahābhārata](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.911](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.911) · Pramāṇa
