TRANSLATION
Sukadeva Gosvami said: Once Saudasa went to live in the forest, where he killed a man-eater [Raksasa] but forgave and released the man-eaters brother. That brother, however, decided to take revenge. Thinking to harm the King, he became the cook at the Kings house. One day, the Kings spiritual master, Vasistha Muni, was invited for dinner, and the Raksasa cook served him human flesh.
