Paada~njali Jaataka |
Brahmadatta, king of Benares, had a son Paada~njali who was an idle loafer. When
the king died, the courtiers headed by the bodhisatva who was the chaplain, went
to test him. The boy sneered at everything with a superior air, whether it were right
or wrong, and the bodhisatva were made king in his place. The story was related in
reference to Laludayi, who once curled his lip in scorn when the two chief disciples
were praised. Laludayi is identified with Paada~njali. |
