Answer the following
1. Discuss the character of Kaushika.
Ans: Kaushika was a sage but he did not have the qualities of a sage. Though he spent a long time on meditation but he did not attain wisdom.

However, he realised his mistakes later and went to Dharma Vyadha to learn about ‘Dharma ‘.

Ans: Kaushika behaved very rudely towards the lady. It was not correct because without knowing the reason for being late he became angry and threatened her.

Ans: The lady at first apologised to Kaushika for being late but when Kaushik almost threatened her she also told him firmly that she was not the bird he had killed that morning.
6. Kaushika suffered two shocks. What are they? What did he learn on those occasions?
Ans: Kaushika suffered the first shock when the lady told him that she was not the bird he had killed that morning. Because he never expected that the lady would know about that incident.
He suffered his second shock when he came to know that the lady had sent him to a butcher to learn about ‘Dharma’.
