अरणीसहितं मन्थं समासक्तं वनस्पतौ | मृगस्य घर्षमाणस्य विषाणे समसज्जत,“राजन! मैंने अपनी अरणी और मथानी एक वृक्षपर रख दी थी। एक मृग वहाँ आकर उस वृक्षसे शरीर रगड़ने लगा और उसके सींगमें वे दोनों काष्ठ फँस गये। वह महान् मृग उन काष्ठोंको लेकर बड़ी उतावलीके साथ भाग गया है और अत्यन्त वेगवान् होनेके कारण चौकड़ी भरता हुआ शीघ्र ही आश्रमसे बहुत दूर निकल गया है
