Once this sage went to some town and in some house asked for alms by the lady of the house. The lady told him " Please wait a second. Until I finish serving my husband". Hearing this, the sage looked at her with anger. She told him "Hey sage, I am not the crane". When he heard this, he thought "how does she know about this" and sat there.

Then the lady finished serving her husband and brought the alms near the sage.  He folded his hands and asked her. "Without seeing, how do you know about the story of the crane? Tell me that. Then only I will accept the alms".  She said to the sage. "Hey sage, other than serving my husband, I don't do any good deed. Because of that (serving her husband), I have obtained this knowledge. There is a meat seller called Dharmavyadha. You go to him and ask this question. That will do you good. And you will become humble. Hearing this from all knowing loyal wife, he accepted the alms, bowed her and returned from that house.

On another day, the sage searched and found the meat seller called Dharmavyadha. Dharmavyadha saw him and asked "Has the good lady sent you?". Hearing this the sage was surprised and asked Dharmavyadha. "Good man, you are selling meat here. How do you have such knowledge?". Dharmavyadha told him " Hey Brahman, I am a devotee of my parents. They are my sacred work. I wash them first and then bathe. I feed them before eating. I put them to sleep before sleeping. Because of this, I have got this knowledge. I take the animals killed by others and sell their meat, thinking that it is my duty, not because of greed. Hey sage. Pride is an obstacle in pursuit of knowledge. So do your duty. By that you will get happiness soon."
