the tigress (Chapter 033, B)
Role: tigress · First appears: Chapter XXXIII
One day, the tigress saw a wandering lion cub and, instead of killing it, began to suckle it so it could be a playfellow for her own cub. She and the lioness then dwelt together and cared for their cubs, naming them Sudaṇshṭhra and Subāhu.
After a time, the tigress and the lioness fell ill. Before they died, they urged the cubs to remain brothers because they had both suckled from them.
