Sibi Story of Mahabharata In Japan

As the Dove was the natural food for the Falcon, it demanded that it be given its food.

To keep up his word and driven by compassion Sibi cut a portion of thigh equivalent to the weight of the Dove.

The scale tilted towards the Dove.

King Sibi continued to cut away portions of his body, to match the weight of the Dove.

As it was not possible, he sat on the scale himself.
