Dubbalakaṭṭha Jātaka

Jātaka

Un jātaka sur un éléphant capturé dans l’Himavā puis échappé de ses dresseurs, vivant dans une terreur constante jusqu’à ce que le Bodhisatta, esprit d’arbre, dissipe sa peur, raconté en référence à un moine perpétuellement effrayé par la mort, identifié à l’éléphant.

Once an elephant, caught in the Himavā, while being trained by the king’s trainers, broke away from his chains and escaped to the mountains. There he lived in a constant state of terror until the Bodhisatta, who was a tree-sprite, dispelled his fears.

The story was told in reference to a monk who was always in fear of death. He is identified with the elephant. J.i.414-6.
