Why was the Maharaja so anxious to kill the hundredth tiger?

Solution

The Maharaja was very much anxious and kill the hundredth tiger because it was predicted by the astrologer that he should be more careful from the hundredth tiger as he would die because of the tiger. To falsify the prediction, the Maharaja was keenly ambitious to kill the hundredth tiger. Consequently he killed ninety -nine tigers and his dewan arranged for the last tiger. The Maharaja aimed at it but it fainted. Later on the guards killed it.
