कस्मिंश्चिद् अधिष्ठाने मित्रशर्मा नाम ब्राह्मणः कृताग्निहोत्र-परिग्रहः प्रतिवसति स्म । तेन कदाचिन् माघ-मासे सौम्यानिले प्रवाति, मेघाच्छादिते गगने मन्दं मन्दं प्रवर्षति पर्जन्ये, पशु-प्रार्थनार्थं किञ्चिद् ग्रामान्तरं गत्वा, कश्चिद् यजमानो याचितः-भो यजमान ! आगामिन्याम् अमावास्यायाम् अहं यक्ष्यामि यज्ञम् । तद् देहि मे पशुम् एकम् ।
English · Meaning
In a certain settlement there lived a Brahmin named Mitraśarman, who had undertaken the Agnihotra observance. Once, in the month of Māgha, when a gentle wind was blowing, when the sky was covered with clouds, and when Parjanya was raining very softly, he went to some other village for the purpose of requesting an animal, and a certain sacrificer was asked: “O sacrificer! On the coming new-moon day I shall perform a sacrifice. Therefore give me one animal.”

English · Meaning
Then, on his way as he was going, three rogues whose throats were emaciated by hunger appeared before him. Seeing such a plump-bodied animal mounted on his shoulder, they said to one another: “Ah! By eating this animal, today’s snowfall is being rendered pointless. Therefore, after deceiving him and taking the animal, let us obtain protection from the cold.”
