Dasabraahma.na Jaataka |
Once the Bodhisatva was born as Vidhura, counsellor to Koravya of the Yudhitthila
clan and king of Indapatta. The king’s generosity was unparalleled, but he gained
no satisfaction therefrom as all the recipients of gifts were wicked men. He therefore
consulted Vidhura and, after discussing with him the qualities of real virtue, obtained
with Vidhura’s help, 500 paccekabuddhas from the Nandapabbata in the Himavanta forest
and entertained them for seven days. The story was related in reference to the Asadisadana
of Pasenadi. Koravya is identified with Ananda. |
