Rh "What asks the crow?"

But no one could tell. So the King himself read the message.

"The crow strikes my bell, between the mouths of my stone lions. See you not? The crow came as is its habit, to pick morsels of food out of the mouth of the lion. And the lions were not lions. I deceived the crow. Let a sheep be killed: and place some meat in the lions' mouths, that the crow may find its meal."

So did even the least of his subjects get justice and bounty at the hands of Anangapal the Just.
