Cammasaa.taka Jaataka |
Once a religious mendicant clad in a leather garment, saw a ram backing up before
him, and imagining that the animal was showing him respect, uttered its praises.
The bodhisatva, who was a merchant, hearing this, warned the ascetic that the ram
was only preparing to attack him -- and even as he was speaking, the animal charged
the mendicant and knocked him to the ground. The Jataka was related in reference
to a monk of Savatthi, to whom a similar thing happened while he was wearing a leather
jerkin. |
