Jātaka

Une histoire de naissance où le Bodhisatta, chef d’un banc de poissons, les mit en garde contre une grue feignant la piété près d’un étang, racontée à propos d’un hypocrite

The Bodhisatta was once the leader of a large shoal of fish. A crane, who wished to eat them, stood on the bank of the pond with outstretched wings, gazing vacantly into space. The fish were impressed by his pious demeanour, but were warned against him by the Bodhisatta.

The story was told in reference to a hypocrite who is identified with the crane. J.ii.233 f.
