J.296 | Samudda Jaataka | The bodhisatva was once a sea-spirit and heard a water-crow flying about trying to check shoals of fish and flocks of birds by saying ‘don’t drink too much sea water, be careful of emptying the sea’. The sea-spirit, seeing his greediness, assumed a terrible shape and frightened him away. The story was related in reference to the great greediness of Upananda the Sakyan. He is identified with the water-crow. | 58/344 | Jaataka | Khuddhaka | J.ii.441ff. | greed |
