Dhammadevaputta Jaataka | Dhamma Jaataka |
The Bodhisatva once became a Kamavacara god named Dhamma and Devadatta became Adhamma.
On uposatha days, Dhamma would appear among men and urge them to lead virtuous lives,
while Adhamma encouraged them in wickedness. One day, their two chariots met in mid-air.
Each claimed the right of way. At the end of the argument, Adhamma’s chariot fell
headlong to earth, where he was swallowed up into hell. The story was related in
reference to Devadatta’s being swallowed up in Aveci. |
