King Somaka had just one son; But he wanted more. His purohit told him that he has to perform a yagna wherein his son Jantu has to be sacrificed.

King Śibi refused to surrender the Pigeon, because it had sought his protection. To satisfy the Eagle's demand for food, he offered flesh from his own body equal in weight to the Pigeon. The episode is celebrated as an example of a king's commitment to protecting one who has sought refuge, even at great personal sacrifice.

In the famous story of King Śibi, the Pigeon was Agni, the god of fire, while the Eagle was Indra, the king of the Devas. They assumed these forms to test King Śibi's commitment to protecting a creature that had sought refuge in him. Śibi's willingness to sacrifice his own flesh demonstrated his extraordinary compassion and adherence to Dharma.
