Chaddanta Jātaka
JātakaEin Jātaka über die Geburt des Bodhisatta als Chaddanta, König der Elefanten, erzählt, um die gemischte Freude und Trauer einer Nonne aus Sāvatthī zu erklären, als sie sich erinnerte, einst seine Gefährtin gewesen zu sein und in jenem Leben die Ursache seines Todes zu sein.
The story of the Bodhisatta, born as Chaddanta, king of elephants. It was related in reference to a nun of Sāvatthi who, while listening one day to a discourse by the Buddha, admired his extreme beauty of form and wondered if she had ever been his wife. Immediately the memory of her life as Cullasubhaddā, Chaddanta’s consort, came to her mind and she laughed for joy; but on further recollecting that she had been the instrument of his death, she wept aloud. The Buddha related this story in explanation of her conduct.¹
