As soon as the child is born, it is so innocent that the innocence of the little puppy touches the heart and the child takes the puppy in his arms and brings him home. Children deeply understand the feeling of friendship in a puppy. Man is familiar with the dog's friendly spirit and loyal quality since childhood, that is why only dog has become a true companion of man among animals.
Therefore Dharmaraja Yudhishthira also refused to ascend to heaven without a dog. The Kukur Deul temple built on the tomb of a dog in Balod district speaks of the dog's devotion to the Banjara in medieval times.
Whenever man
said for entertainment or hunted for a living, then there was definitely the
participation of the dog in that hunt. Such hunting markings are found in the
idol craft of Bastar. Today the dog is a prominent member in the tribal family
of Bastar. Living in a remote, dense forest, it becomes necessary to have a dog
in the house for protection and warning. When the Bastaria tribal goes out of
the house, when the owner hears the call of Dud Dud, the pet dog also comes with
alertness and keeps walking back and forth throughout the road. I can also
imagine such a scene in a thousand years old statue of everyday life. Got to
see
Almost
everyone's childhood in the village is spent with the puppies of dogs. The
elders definitely used to say that a dog with 21 nails is good and we would say
to the puppy - give the paw, and the dog's son would put the paw in our hands,
and then we started counting his nails.
Do you know
why our elders said that only a dog with 21 nails should be kept. After all,
where did this belief and talk come from?
Actually
this belief has been prevalent for centuries and there is a solid basis behind
this belief. maybe that's why
"Varahamihira also describes it that a
dog who has five nails in three legs and six nails in the remaining right one
leg, the front part of the lips and nose should be like a copper color, which
has a movement like a lion, The one who walks sniffing the ground, has enough
hair on the tail, whose eyes are like a bear and both ears are long and soft,
such a dog brings prosperity in the house of his master. That the bitch who has
five nails in three legs and six nails in the next left foot, eyes like a
flower of Mallika or Bela, crooked tail, yellow complexion and long ears, then
she is proven to protect the lord's kingdom. it occurs." (Context –
Footnote Shri Krishna Firefly Sir Mansollas Part Three Page 227,228)
Of course,
we have known these things since childhood, but to get acquainted with the
basic reasons behind these things, today it was possible only through the
teaching of a classic work like Mansolas.
Someswara III, the Chalukya king of Kalyani, has given a very interesting description of
the qualities of the dog, the characteristics of the dogs of different regions,
its usefulness in hunting in Mansollas. He has termed it as Sarmabhuva Vinod.
We will
always be grateful to Shri Krishna Jugnu Sir that he has presented this rare
Sanskrit book with such a pleasing translation, due to which we are able to
know the root reasons behind the indelible culture of all Indian society.
