Maaluta Jaataka |
Once, two friends, a lion and a tiger, lived in a cave. They had a dispute as to
which was the cold part of the month, the full-moon quarter or the new-moon quarter,
and they referred the matter to a hermit (the bodhisatva) who said that the cold
was caused by the wind and not by the moon. The story was told of two forest-dwelling
monks of Kosala, Kala and Junha, who consulted the Buddha in a similar dispute. The
lion and the tiger are identified with the monks. |
