Having thus reflected he went to a village and having brought a cat, named Dadhikarna, with effort, after securing his confidence, placed him in his den, feeding him on flesh. Thereafter the mouse did not come out of his hole through fear of the cat and the lion slept comfortably, his mane not being bitten. Whenever he heard the noise of the mouse, he fed the cat with flesh with greater attention. Once the mouse, as he moved out being oppressed with hunger, was caught by the cat and killed. After that the lion did not hear the sound of the mouse at any time and took little care to feed the cat, as he was no longer useful to him. Then that Dadhikarna, wasting away for want of food, died. Hence my observation - "The master should not be made etc". Then Damanaka and Karataka went to Samjivaka. Of the two Karataka sat under a tree in a dignified manner. Damanaka went forward to Samjivaka and said - O bull, this general Karataka here, appointed to keep guard over the forest by king Pingalaka, orders you - Come here at once; or retire to a distance from this wood, else the consequence will be disastrous (adverse) to you. I don't kuow what our royal master, if angry, will do. Then Samjivaka, ignorant of the ways and manners of the country, advanced with fear and made a profound bow to Karataka. For it is said, Talent, indeed, is of greater consequence than physical strength, for the lack of which such is the condition of elephants - this, as it were, the kettledrum, sounding, proclaims, when beaten by the elephant-driver.
