Mahabharata
EnglishMārjāra-mūshika-saṃvāda(ḥ) (“the discourse between a cat and a mouse”). § 646b (Āpaddh.): There was a large banyan in the midst of a forest, with various kinds of birds, etc. A wise mouse, Palita, lived at the foot of that tree, having made a hole there with 100 outlets. On the branches lived a cat Lomaśa. A Cāṇḍāla came and built a hut, setting his traps of leather strings every evening after sunset. One day he caught the cat. Palita began to eat the flesh in the trap, but beheld the mongoose Harito and the owl Candraka. He resolved upon saving the cat though an enemy, in order to escape from them
having made peace with the cat, he crouched beneath it
the mongoose and owl left the spot
the mouse began to cut the strings slowly, notwithstanding the cat's impatience. At morning the Cāṇḍāla Parigha appeared (description), accompanied by a pack of dogs. Then the mouse quickly cut the remaining string
the cat got upon the banyan, Palita entered his hole. The hunter took up his net and left the spot. Palita would not conclude friendship with the cat, and entered another hole.
