50 passagesस आह-शत-सहस्रायुत-लक्षाण्य् अपि जल-प्रविष्टानि भक्षयामि । बाह्यतः शृगालो ऽपि मां धर्षयति ।
He said: “I devour even hundreds, thousands, myriads, and lakhs that have entered the water. From outside, even a jackal assaults me.”
वानर आह-अस्ति मे केनचिद् भूपतिना सहात्यन्तं वैरम् । यद्य् एनां रत्न-मालां मे प्रयच्छसि, तत् परिवारम् अपि तं भूपतिं वाक्य-प्रपञ्चेन लोभयित्वात्र सरसि प्रवेशयामि ।
The monkey said: “I have an intense enmity with a certain king. If you give me this jewel necklace, then, having enticed that king and his retinue with a profusion of words, I will make him enter this lake.”
सो ऽपि श्रद्धेयं वचस् तस्य श्रुत्वा रत्न-मालां दत्त्वा प्राह-भो मित्र ! यत् समुचितं भवति तत् कर्तव्यम् इति ।
He too, having heard his credible words, gave the jewel necklace and said: “Ho, friend! Whatever is appropriate should be done.”
वानरो ऽपि रत्न-माला-विभूषित-कण्ठो वृक्ष-प्रासादेषु परिभ्रमन् जनैर् दृष्टः । पृष्टश् च-भो यूथप ! भवान् इयन्तं कालं कुत्र स्थितः ? भवता ईदृग् रत्न-माला कुत्र लब्धा ? दीप्त्या सूर्यम् अपि तिरस्करोति ।
The monkey too, with his neck adorned with a jewel necklace, wandered among the tree-palaces and was seen by people. He was also asked: “Ho, troop leader! Where have you been staying all this time? Where did you obtain such a jewel necklace? By its radiance it outshines even the sun.”
वानरः प्राह-अस्ति कुत्रचिद् अरण्ये गुप्ततरं महत् सरो धनद-निर्मितम् । तत्र सूर्येऽर्धोदिते रवि-वारे यः कश्चिन् निमज्जति, स धनद-प्रसादाद् ईदृग्-रत्न-माला-विभूषित-कण्ठो निःसरति ।
The monkey said: “There is, somewhere in the forest, a great and very well-hidden lake made by Kubera. There, on Sunday, when the sun is half risen, whoever immerses himself emerges, by Kubera’s favor, with his neck adorned with such a jewel necklace.”
