Lomaśa  : m.: A cat.


A. Residence: He lived on the branches of a banyan tree in a certain forest 12. 136. 19, 22; also in a hole (svabilam) at the foot of the tree 12. 136. 190.


B. Description: Had sharp front teeth and eyes resembling the cat's-eye gem; he was intelligent, eloquent (vākyasaṁpanna) and knew the import of speech vākyatattvajña) 12. 136. 65, 64, 94.


C. Palita-Lomaśa Episode: A mouse, Palita, also lived in a hole at the foot of the banyan tree; Lomaśa, although normally watchful (apramatta 12. 136. 25), was once caught in a trap (unmātha 12. 136. 23) fixed by a Cāṇḍāla; when this happened Palita began to move about freely, got a piece of flesh, and started eating it on the top of the trap while smiling inwardly at the cat caught in the trap below; just then the mouse Palita saw his two other enemies, an ichneumon on the ground and an owl on the tree, wanting to get him; Palita immediately realized that the cat, his third enemy in distress, was his only means of escape; he therefore offered the cat to cut off the cords of the net if the cat in return promised not to injure him when he moved near the cat to protect himself from the ichneumon and the owl; Palita wished that Lomaśa remained alive and expected a similar response from Lomaśa (tava jīvitam icchāmi tvaṁ mamecchasi jīvitam 12. 136. 59); the cat too knew that be by himself was almost at the end of his life (tām avasthām avekṣyāntyām 12. 136. 64) and hence spoke in conciliatory terms to the mouse; Lomaśa told the mouse that he had given up his pride and that he was Palita's devotee and pupil; he was prepared to carry out Palita's order and work in his interest; he requested Palita to do what would serve the purpose of both of them; Palita then suggested the following plan to Lomaśa: the mouse was to go very close to the cat and while he was in that condition the cat was to protect the mouse from the owl and the ichneumon; when the danger to the mouse from the two had passed, the mouse was to cut the cords of the net and free the cat; Lomaśa agreed to this plan and promised not only to be welldisposed towards Palita when he drew near, but also offered later to do, with his friends and relatives, things pleasing to Palita; the mouse then moved very close to the cat and slept on his chest; having seen that the ichneumon and the owl had returned to their respective homes Palita started to cut off the cords of the net slowly; Lomaśa tried to hasten him asking him not to be ungrateful; Lomaśa wanted Palita to finish the work before the Caṇḍāla (śvapaca) returned; Palita refused to hasten until he was sure that the Caṇḍāla was close by so that Lomaśa, when freed, would not pounce on the mouse but jump on the tree from the fear of the Caṇḍāla; Lomaśa again pleaded with Palita to be more quick in his work pointing out that good men did not act the way Palita was going about his work; Palita should not remember their past enmity and delay in freeing the cat; Palita assured Lomaśa that he had cut off most of the cords and deliberately left only one which he would bite off at the proper time; when the night ended and the Caṇḍāla was seen arriving, Lomaśa was frightened and asked Palita what he intended to do; Palita cut off the last cord and the freed Lomaśa jumped up the tree as was expected by Palita, and Palita himself entered his hole; when the disappointed Caṇḍāla went away, Lomaśa requested Palita not to misunderstand him if he, when he became free, jumped up the tree without conversing with Palita (akṛtvā saṁvidaṁ kāṁcit sahasāham upaplutaḥ/ kṛtajñaṁ kṛtakalyāṇaṁ kaccin māṁ nābhiśaṅkase 12. 136. 119); Lomaśa asked the mouse to trust him and come close to him as he wanted to honour Palita who had saved him; Lomaśa asked Palita to be his minister and instruct him like a father (amātyo me bhava prājña piteva hi praśādhi mām 12. 136. 126); the counsel (mantra) of the mouse and the strength (bala) of the cat together would win victories for them (12. 136. 127); but Palita pointed out to Lomaśa that he fell into the trap due to his thoughtlessness (capalatvāt 12. 136. 142); thoughtlessness does not help the person himself, how can it help others ?; Palita plainly told the cat that he wanted the mouse to move close to him because he was the food of the cat; Palita refused to go near Lomaśa when that was the cat's dinner time; Lomaśa made one more plea to Palita describing himself to be the knower of duties (dharmajña), appreciative of the merits of others (guṇajña), grateful for the good act (kṛtajña), and fond of friends (mitreṣu vatsala 12. 136. 179); if the mouse forsook the cat the latter would die; Palita, however, remained firm and advised Lomaśa to protect himself from the Caṇḍāla; hearing Caṇḍāla's name, the frightened Lomaśa quickly entered his hole, and Palita entered his 12. 136. 21-191.
