Manuneethi Chola King was for meting out justice. He had installed a bell in his palace. Any aggrieved party who wanted justice could ring this bell. The King would then hear the case and deliver justice. One day, it so happened that the King’s only son, while riding a chariot, knocked down a calf, and the calf died. Seeing this, the mother cow went to the palace and rang the bell of justice. The King came out of the palace and was surprised to see an animal ringing the bell. However, such was the King’s devotion to justice that he followed the animal to the spot where the calf had been killed. Grasping the situation, the King ordered that his own son should be run over by a chariot so that proper justice could be rendered.
