Mahabharata
English[Śākulopākhyāna(ṃ)], “the episode about the Śakula fishes.” § 645b (Āpaddh.): In a lake that was not very deep and which abounded in fishes, there lived three Śakula fishes (kuśalās in B. seems only to be a typographical error) that were friends
amongst those three, one had much forethought (dīrghakālajñaḥ)
another was possessed of great presence of mind (utpannapratibhaḥ)
the third was procrastinating (dīrghasūtraḥ). One day certain fishermen coming to that lake began to bale out its waters to a lower ground through diverse outlets. He of great forethought, having in vain warned the others, immediately set out through a current and reached another deep lake. The procrastinating one was caught with many others and tied to a string. He of presence of mind thrust himself into the company of those so tied, and remained quietly among them biting the string, and escaped when the fishes were removed to a piece of deep water to be washed. The procrastinating one met with his death (XII, 137).
