Vyāghra–Gomāyu Saṃvāda (व्याघ्रगोमायु संवाद) — Testing Character Beneath Appearances
Devanagari script
अगृह्ानुनयं तस्य मृगेन्द्रस्य च बुद्धिमान् । गोमायु: प्रायमास्थाय त्यक्त्वा देहं दिवं ययौ,वह बड़ा बुद्धिमान् था; अतः शेरकी अनुनय-विनय न मानकर मृत्युपर्यन्त निराहार रहनेका व्रत ले एक स्थानपर बैठ गया और अन्तमें शरीर त्यागकर स्वर्गधाममें जा पहुँचा
Translation
He was exceedingly wise; therefore, refusing the lion’s entreaties and conciliatory overtures, Gomāyu undertook prāya—fasting unto death—sitting in one place. In the end he cast off his body and went to the heavenly realm.
