The Mongoose said : When the king of the beasts (tiger) the wolf and the intelligent mouse have all been defeated by you, heroes as they are, you seem to be a greater hero than they. I do not desire (therefore) to fight with you: Saying this he went away.
नकुल उवाच मृगराजो वृक्श्चैव बुद्धिमानपि मूषिकः॥ निर्जिता यत् त्वया वीरास्तमाद् वीरतरो भवान्। न त्वयाप्युत्सहे योद्धमित्युक्त्वा सोऽप्युपागमत्॥
