One day certain fishermen coming to that lake began to bale out its waters to a lower ground through diverse outlets. He of great forethought, having in vain warned the others, immediately set out through a current and reached another deep lake. The procrastinating one was caught with many others and tied to a string.

The procrastinating one met with his death (XII, 137). Çakuna, pl. (°āḥ), a people. § 592 (Saṃçaptakav.): VII, 205, 802 (Gāndhārāḥ Çakunāḥ, etc., in the back of Droṇa's garuḍavyūha).
