In the olden days, there lived a brahmana by name susharma. Even though he was born in a dvija family, he did not follow any of his kula dharma.

Susharma committed many heinous sins & was bringing shame to the entire clan
Yama-raja decided enough was enough & then made him die a gruesome death..

Susharma was then forced to spend a huge time on naraka. Once his sins were compensated for, he re-incarnated as a bull in earth
The bull (Susharma) was taken in by an exhibitionist. It spent a few years dancing, entertaining & grazing.

One fine day, the bull got a grievous injury. It was so severe that it almost threatened it's life.
