Uda~ncani Jaataka |
The bodhisatva and his son lived in a hermitage. One evening when the bodhisatva
came back with fruits to the hermitage, he found that his son had neither brought
in food and wood nor lit the fire. When questioned by his father, he answered that
during the latterís absence, a woman had tempted him, and was waiting outside for
him to go with her, if he could obtain his fatherís consent. The bodhisatva, seeing
that his son was enamoured of the woman, gave his consent, adding that if ever he
wished to come back, he would be welcome. The young man went away with the woman,
but after some time, realizing he had to slave to satisfy her needs, he ran away
from her and returned to his father. For the circumstances relating to the telling
of the story, see the Cullanaraadakassapa
