Vigaticcha Jaataka |
The bodhisatva was once a wise hermit living in a hut on the bend of the river. A
pilgrim, a clever debater, came to try to defeat him in debate. However, in answer
to his questions, the hermit always asked him another, and the pilgrim was forced
to retire discomfited. The story was related in reference to a wanderer who came
to Savatthi to debate with the Buddha, but who was forced to admit defeat. The two
debaters were the same. |
