Kaayavicchinda Jaataka | Kaayanibbinda Jaataka |
The bodhisatva was once a brahmin of Benares and fell sick of jaundice. The physicians
failed to cure him and his family was in despair. He resolved that if he recovered,
he would embrace the religious life. Soon afterwards he was cured, became an ascetic,
and developed mental attainments. The Jataka was told in reference to a man of Savatthi
who had a like experience. He entered the monkhood and became an arahant. |
