Docter -
There is a cure, sire! But for that my medicine has to be given to him by mixing it in crow-meat. That will certainly cure him. Otherwise he is sure to die.

BUNKACHULA (The benefits of vows and codes)

Brother! There are exemptions in the vows for laymen.

Listening to what the doctor said, Bunkachula refused
The news spread all around the city. Some Jain Shravaks (lay followers) came and tried to persuade
I have taken a vow not to eat crow-meat. I will never eat that,
even if I lose my life. I am a follower of Jainism and cannot break a vow taken before an ascetic.
Unwavering on his vow, Bunkachula preferred to die instead of breaking his vow.
There are no exemptions in my vow. My resolve is unbreakable.
Finally the king sent for Jinadas, a scholarly senior Shravak from a nearby town, in order to persuade Bunkachula.

Go and fetch Shravak Jinadas from the nearby town. Only he could convince the prince.
