Once Guru Ramdas fell ill. He said to Shivaji, "Will you bring some tiger's milk? It will cure my illness."

Without a moment's hesitation, Shivaji went to the forest. He saw some tiger cubs. He took one of the cubs in his hand and waited for its mother.

The tigress saw Shivaji with her young one in his hand. She became furious and at once sprang on him, and scratched him all over. But Shivaji was without fear. He restrained the tigress, and then appealed to her, "O tiger! I do not want to take away your cubs. I only want a little milk from you for my Guru Ramdas who is ill."

At once the tigress became quiet. She allowed him to milk her. After collecting the milk, Shivaji took it to his Guru. The Guru

drank part of it, and was cured. He gave the rest to Shivaji, and when he drank it, all scratches disappeared.
