(crow)

Origin.

碍补艣测补辫补 was the son of 惭补谤墨肠颈, who was the son of 叠谤补丑尘腻. 碍补艣测补辫补鈥檚 wife 罢腻尘谤腻 had many daughters like 碍腻办墨, 艢测别苍墨, 叠丑腻蝉墨, G峁沝h峁沰膩, 艢耻办墨 and 骋谤墨惫腻. From 碍腻办墨 were born the crows in the world. (Agni 笔耻谤腻峁嘺, Chapter 19).

Crows鈥攖he symbol of sin.

There is a reference in 艢颈惫补 笔耻谤腻峁嘺 to this. Long ago the King of 碍腻艣墨 had a daughter named 碍补濒腻惫补迟墨. Even in her youth, she received the "艢补颈惫补 辫补帽肠腻办峁�a谤补 mantra." After that, she was married by 顿腻艣腻谤丑补, King of 惭补迟丑耻谤腻, who was a sinner. When he touched 碍补濒腻惫补迟墨 who was a holy woman, he experienced unbearable heat. 碍补濒腻惫补迟墨 said that it was because of the King鈥檚 sin. So she took 顿腻艣腻谤丑补 to the sage Garga, who purified 顿腻艣腻谤丑补 with his mantras (incantations) and made him stand in water. At once the King鈥檚 sins came out of his body in the shape of crows. Some of them flew away. Many of them fell down with their wings burnt. Seeing this, the sage Garga said that all those crows were the volume of sins accumulated in the course of the innumerable births through which he had passed. (艢颈惫补 笔耻谤腻峁嘺, Pa帽c膩k峁�ara 惭腻丑腻迟尘测补).

The Crow and Rice-offerings.

In Uttara 搁腻尘腻测补峁嘺 there is a story about the crow鈥檚 right to eat the offering of rice to 笔颈迟峁泂. Once a King named Marutta performed a 惭补丑别艣惫补谤补 sattra. Indra and other gods attended the sattra. Hearing about this, 搁腻惫补峁嘺 came that way. The frightened gods fled away assuming the forms of different birds. Yama escaped in the form of a crow. From that time, Yama was pleased with crows. He gave a blessing that in future, when human beings worship the pi峁璻s by offering rice to them, the crows will have the right to eat that rice. Thus the right of the crows to eat offerings of rice, originated from that time. (Uttara 搁腻尘腻测补峁嘺).
