Shala

King Shala, son of Parikshit, pursues a deer and learns from his charioteer that only Vamadeva's Vamya horses are swift enough to catch it. He borrows them on condition of return, but after catching the deer, he decides to keep them — refusing the rishi's request and then Vamadeva's personal demand. Vamadeva warns him, and rakshasas arise and strike the king dead.
