The harmony of the jungle was in stark contrast to the deceit that existed in the city. The conniving pursuits of men, and ironically, even the demigods amazed Rudra. He noted that they frequently devised schemes and made plots in the name of a larger good, when actually, all they wanted, was to carve out their own little kingdoms.
But the lions of the jungle were not like that at all. They were natural kings, who ensured no wastage of life for game, no plunder, and certainly no divisive schemes. Rudra liked the lions’ way.
So there He was, growing in the jungle, Unlike the other children of Brahma, He did not show any interest in the kingdom, yet easily fitted into the role of a true King. Easily, the lion’s way robed Him with one virtue after yet another.
