Directions—(Q. 1–15) Read the following passage carefully and answer the
questions given below it. Certain words have been printed in bold to help you
locate them while answering some of the questions.
The great sage once had a group of disciples. They were all very bright and
eager students and the sage had all the reasons to be proud of them. One day
the sage realized that he had imparted enough knowledge to his disciples. Now
they were all very learned. There was only one thing the sage had not taught
them, and that was the special verse that could bring the dead back to life. The
sage knew that such knowledge was too wonderful and could prove to be a
dangerous thing in the hands of someone who was not very wise. The sage
pondered over this for a long time. But he also knew that if he did not pass on
this secret verse, it could die with him. So, at last he called his cleverest disciple
aside and said "I am going to teach you a very special verse. If you chant this
you can bring to life a dead person or animal. Use only when you need it to and
never misuse or test your powers vainly." He then called all the disciples
together and said, "I am sending you all into the forest for forty days. Go
together and come back together. Each one of you has to guide one another and
do good things."
So the disciples started out together into the forest. They were all united. But
the clever disciple who knew the verse wanted to show he was better than the
others. As they walked into the forest, they came across a dead tiger on the
way. It was huge and looked wickedly fierce even when dead. The clever disciple
stopped and said to the others. "Now I am going to show you what our teacher
has taught me alone. He has taught me how to bring life back into the dead."
The others would not believe him and he said, "I would prove it to you by
bringing this tiger back to life. "But other disciple said "do not do anything to
prove your knowledge vainly. Moreover, if you put life into this tiger, it will only
turn on us and kill us all. This will not be a wise thing to do."
But the clever disciple had decided to prove himself and prepared to recite the
verse. But before he did so, the other disciples scrambled up to the topmost
branches of a big tree nearby. The disciple then recited the magical verse. The
tiger slowly began to breathe. "Its working" cried the disciple in excitement and
joy. The tiger opened its eyes and saw him jumping and shouting in front of him.
Roaring loudly, the tiger pounced on the poor disciple and killed him.
The other disciples on the tree watched helplessly as the tiger threw down the
dead body of the disciple and went away into the forest. After some time the
disciples came down, took the body and went to the sage. The sage looked at
them and said, "Now you see what can happen if you don't use your learning
wisely. Let this be a lesson for you." With that, the sage uttered the magic verse
and brought the dead disciple back to life. The sage then taught the verse to all
his disciples and sent them into the world to do good. He was sure that after
such a lesson, they would be wiser and use their knowledge and learning only for
doing good.
