Why did the maharaja anxiety reach …

When the Maharaja was barely ten days old, the chief astrologer had predicted that a tiger would be the cause of his death. When the Maharaja was twenty, he killed a tiger, he went to his astrologer. The astrologer told him that he could kill ninety-nine tigers, but he should be fearful of the hundredth tiger. That was the reason why the Maharaja was anxious to kill the hundredth tiger.
The Dewan had brought a tiger from the People’s Park in Madras and kept it hidden in his house. The Maharaja called Dewan and asked him to search the tiger as soon as possible otherwise search another job.  Maharaja even said that he would exempt the land tax for three years if anyone informed him of a tiger. When the Maharaja threatened him of dire consequences, he understood that the only way to save him was to ‘plant’ a tiger for the Maharaja to kill.
So, he and his aged wife dragged the tiger to the forest where the king was hunting. They left the tiger in the forest and informed the King about the same. The king took aim and the beast soon collapsed.
