Once a king asked his courtiers . What is the marshy land ( daldal) in this world from which one cannot come out ? None could reply . Atlast he asked his Rajpurohit he also could not gave the reply. King got annoyed and said to Rajpurohit if you could not answer a simple question like this with in 24 hours... , You will lose your rank and the annual INCOME and will become just a nobody. .
Rajpurohti got anxious , but he could not got the reply . He went to jungle to seek his guru , but even he could not had a suitable reply.
while coming back to city he met a shepherd of a low caste . The sheapherd asked him why he is so anxious . The Rajpurohit told him his tale of woes.
The sheapherd said it is very easy to reply, I could tell you but first you have to become my disciple.
The Rajpurohit though did not like to be a disciple of a low caste sheapherd , but to save his honour and rank he accpeted it. The sheapherd put one more condition that he has to drank his goats milk. Rajpurohit accppted unwillingly. Then again shepard said milk be first drink by him and Rapurohit has to drink his left over milk.
Rajpurhot accepted it too unwillingly. Then again shepard said milk will also will be tasted first by his dog and Rajpurohit has to drink the left over milk in a dead man' scalp.
Finding no alternative Rajpurhit accepted it too, otherwise he had to lose his rank and annual income
. As he was going to drink from the scalp the leftover milk of the dog. Shepard stopped him and said don't drink . Now this is the answer of your question .
He did not understand .
Shepard said for these five vices KAM, KRODH ,LOBH, MOH ANKAR ,a man can STOOPS SO LOW .THIS IS THE MARSHY LAND ( DALDAL ) FROM WHICH NO CAN COME OUT.
He told rajpurohit for the sake of Money( lobh) and his rank and status ( ahankar) , he stoops so low, as a high caste pandit like him got ready to drink milk from the dead man's scalpl which is a left over of a dog.
