So the people built a deer park. They made pondswhere-the deer could drink, and added trees and grassesfor them to eat from. When it was ready, they opened thegate and went out into the nearby forests. Theysurrounded the entire herds of Banyan and Branch deer.Then,.with sticks and weapons and noise makers, theydrove them all into the deer park trap, and locked thegate behind them.
After the deer had settled down, the people went tothe king and said, Our crops and income have sufferedbecause of your hunting requirements. Now we have madeyou a pleasant safe deer park, where you can hunt byyourself as you like. With no need of our aid, you canenjoy both the hunting and the eating of deer.
The king went to the new deer park. There he waspleased to see the vast herds. While watching them, hiseye was caught by the two magnificent golden deer, withlarge fully grown antlers. Because he admired theirunusual beauty, the king granted immunity to these twoalone. He ordered that they should be completely safe. Noone could harm or kill them.
Once a day the king would come and kill a deer forhis dinner table. Sometimes, when he was too busy, theroyal cook would do this. The body would then be broughtto the chopping block to be butchered for the oven.
Whenever the deer saw the bow and arrows, theywent into a panic, trembling for their lives. They ranaround wildly, some being injured and some wounded,many suffering great pain.
