yathAjJApayati devaH is the standard response of a servant to a king's order. "As you command, O Lord."

 

<hr>

tatas tena siMha-vyAghrAdIn uttama-parijanAn prApya sRigAlAn avalokya lajjamAnena avajnayA dUrIkRitAH svajnAtayaH<hr>

 

This sentence is confusing because it uses a passive construction. The subject of "prApya" and "avajJAya" is in the instrumental.

 

sva-jJAtayaH tena lajjamAnena dUrIkRtAH |

 

"When the jackal gained the association of such high class animals as the lions and tigers, he became ashamed of the other jackals and abandoned them with a flurry of insulting remarks."

 

(slightly embellished).
