of the Supannas, having taken uposatha vows meet together in a garden and dispute
as to who is the most virtuous. They ask the bodhisatva to resolve the dispute. He
tells that each is equally virtuous, like the spokes of a wheel. They are pleased
and give the bodhisatva presents. The Jaataka is the first episode of the Vidhurapa.n.dita
