saudaso mrgayam kiñcic
caran rakso jaghana ha
mumoca bhrataram so ’tha
gatah praticikirsaya

gurave bhoktu-kamaya
paktva ninye naramisam
Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada:
Sukadeva Gosvami said: Once Saudasa went to live in the forest, where he killed a man-eater [Raksasa] but forgave and released the man-eater’s brother. That brother, however, decided to take revenge. Thinking to harm the King, he became the cook at the King’s house. One day, the King’s spiritual master, Vasistha Muni, was invited for dinner, and the Raksasa cook served him human flesh.
