Sharngakas

The protective mother bird, Jarita, has flown to safety, leaving her four sons — the Sharngakas — alone in the Khandava forest. The all-consuming fire, driven by Agni and fanned by Krishna and Arjuna, now reaches their nest with its piercing flames.

As Agni's fire sweeps through Khandava, the bird Jarita finds a hole she believes is safe and urges her sons to hide. But the young Sharngakas are paralyzed by a different fear: the rat that lives in that hole might kill them if the fire does not.
