अथ लब्ध-प्रणाशम्

अथेदम् आरभते लब्ध-प्रणाशं नाम चतुर्थं तन्त्रम् । यस्यायम् आदिमः श्लोकः-
Now this fourth book, called “Loss of What Has Been Gained,” is begun; of it this is the opening verse:
समुत्पन्नेषु कार्येषु बुद्धिर् यस्य न हीयते । स एव दुर्गं तरति जलस्थो वानरो यथा ॥
When affairs have arisen, he whose intelligence does not fail—he alone crosses the difficult passage, as the monkey situated in the water does.
तद् यथानुश्रूयते- प्रस्तावना-कथा वानर-मकर-वृत्तान्तः
This is how it is heard: introductory story—The story of the monkey and the crocodile.
