[202] While these noble ones of noble conduct were conversing together thus,
the hunter, seizing his club, came rushing upon them in great haste.
Seeing him rushing on, Sumukha uttered a loud cry;
the goose stood before the king, reassuring the trembling one:
"Fear not, O best of flying creatures; for those such as you do not fear.
I shall apply a fitting endeavor, one in keeping with righteousness (dhamma);
by that consummate deed you shall swiftly be freed from the snare."
