Note 3 — Chapter XXXIII
C. H. (Charles Henry) Tawney translation
Benfey found this story in the Arabic Version of the Panchatantra and in all the translations and reproductions of it. He finds it also in the Mahábhárata, XII (III, 589) śl. 4930 and ff. He expresses his opinion that it formed a portion of the original Panchatantra. See Benfey’s Panchatantra, pp. 544–560, Orient und Occident, Vol. I. p. 383. The account in the Mahábhárata is very prolix.
