पुराणम्

English

कोलिक / KOLIKA (kokila). This is the name of a rat. kokila is a character in the story known as biḍālopākhyāna,  told by nārada to dhṛtarāṣṭra. Once a cat began to perform penance holding up both of its hands,  on the bank of the gaṅgā. After a long time birds and rats began to come very close to it believing that it would not hurt them. They made the cat their leader. The wicked cat daily ate a rat secretly. Thus the body of the cat grew stronger day by day and there appeared a steady decrease in the number of the rats. Among them there was a wise rat called kokila. He understood the deceit played by the cat. So proclaiming independence he and his fellows ran away and saved themselves. (M.B. Udyoga Parva,  Chapter 160).
