We say the main actors in the mallai penance panel. Now for a couple of light hearted posts.
Towards the bottom of the panel, just in front of the majestic tusker, we see a very curious scene being enacted.
You saw earlier the boon seeker ( arjuna / bagiratha) engaged in severe penance - standing up on one leg. Now you see a cat mimicking this and to add to the humor there are a couple of mice who seem to be in the act of worshiping the praying cat. What would be act 2 of this scene once the cat breaks his fast …breakfast.
Maybe we could still draw some lessons from this story
