Faith Leads To Success
Long ago, there were two brothers Jindatta and Sagardatta who lived in a village named Mallukaakacha near the famous city of Champa. The brothers decided to go to a nearby village to earn their livelihood. They worked hard but it so happened that they fell in love with a beautiful girl named Devadatta and she thought of a way which would help her select the right husband.
After somedays, Devadatta took them to her beautiful garden, where there was a peahen. As the peahen saw them approaching she became frightened. Both the brothers wondered what the reason was behind her fear. They approached her nest and found two eggs in the nest. They decided to take the eggs and keep them in safer place in order to get two baby peacocks out of those eggs. So, both the brothers took one egg each. As they had a strong desire to possess the peacocks, they kept the eggs in a very safe place.
As time elapsed, Sagardatta went to the place where he had kept the eggs. He began to doubt whether a Mayuri would hatch out of the eggs. So, he started shaking and turning the egg upside down to check the existence and growth of the baby peacock. After sometime, he laid the egg down in its place. But having been disturbed and shaken so many times, the egg had become lifeless.
Jindatta, on the other hand, also came to the place where he had kept the egg but did not lift it or shake it. He had faith the egg would turn into a Mayuri one day. So, he waited patiently with full faith. He, neither touched nor moved the egg. Within a short span of time, a Mayuri hatched out of that egg. Jindatta was very pleased to see the Mayuri. He called a peacock trainer and asked him to take care of it. He said, “Make it learn the art of dance”. The trainer obeyed the order and nurtured it very carefully. When the Mayuri was trained, the trainer returned it to Jindatta, who was very happy to see the dancing Mayuri. He now asked Devadatta to marry him and she readily agreed.
