Thus, did they (the three friends) live in happy contentment, feasting and sporting at will. Now on one occasion, a deer, Chitranga by name, frightened by someone, came and joined them. Thereupon, apprehending that the person who had caused the fright might be coming after the deer, Manthara entered the water, the mouse a hole and the crow flew up and perched on the top of a tree. Then Laghupatanaka, looking to a great distance, found that no one that would cause fright was coming. Then in pursuance of his words all of them again joined company and sat just there. Manthara said - Good, O deer, you are welcome. You are at liberty to enjoy provisions such as water and the like. Do you favour the forest with your residence here (lit., let the forest have a master by your residence here). Chitranga said, I who was alarmed by the hunters have come to you for protection and desire your friendship. Hiranyaka replied - As for friendship, you have secured that without an effort. For, A friend is known to be of four kinds, viz. - by whole blood, by family connexion, a hereditary friend and one delivered from misfortunes.
