| J.115 |
Anusaasika Jaataka |
A gluttonous nun seeks alms in places unvisited by other sisters. In order to keep
these alms for herself she threatened others with tales of dangers lurking there.
One day while seeking alms, her leg was broken by a ram and her secret discovered.
The Jataka relates the story of a greedy bird which after cunningly warning others
against the dangers of the road on which she found food, is herself crushed to death
by a carriage on that same road. The nun is identified with the bird. |
