Bhuuripa~nha Jaataka |
The name given to a section of the Mahaummagga
Jataka (J.546) which describes how Mahosadha, having lost the king’s favour,
lived with a potter. The deity in the king’s parasol put several questions to the
king, but his wise men were unable to answer them. The king then sent messengers
with gifts to look for Mahosadha. They found him in the potter’s hut and brought
him back. The king expressed surprise that Mahosadha should have borne him no resentment.
Mahosadha pointed out to him that wise men were incapable of ingratitude or meanness. |
