Telovaada Jaataka |
Once the bodhisatva was a brahmin ascetic. He came to a village for alms and was
invited by a wealthy brahmin, who, after having given him food with fish, tried to
annoy him by saying that the fish had been killed specially for him. The Bodhisatva
said that he himself was entirely free from blame. The story was told in reference
to Nigantha Nathaputta who sneered because the Buddha had consented to eat at the
house of the general Siha. The wealthy brahmin is identified with Nathaputta. |
