A tawny monster with black spots, belonging to the fair sex of her noble race, was calmly quenching her thirst in the river Caveri after she had finished drinking she squatted on her hind feet and stretched her forepaws in front of her breast sphinx-like and luxuriously rubbed her head in and out among the soft leaves scattered on the riverside.
