The Tiger said: If the mouse has really said this, my sense is awakened. I shall from this day kill with the might of my own arms the beasts of the forest and feast on their flesh. Having said this he went away into the forest. At this time the mouse came there. Seeing him come, the Jackal thus spoke to him.
व्याघ्र उवाच ब्रवीति यदि स ह्येवं काले ह्यस्मिन् प्रबोधितः। स्वबाहुबलमाश्रित्य हनिष्येऽहं वनेचरान्॥ खादिष्ये तत्र मांसानि इत्युक्त्वा प्रस्थितो वनम्। एतस्मिन्नेव काले तु मूषिकोऽप्याजगाम ह॥ तमागतमभिप्रेत्य शृगालोऽप्यब्रववीद् वचः।
