Gijjha Jātaka2

Jātaka

Eine Jātaka-Geschichte vom Bodhisatta als Geier, dessen starker Sohn, der König der Geier, die Warnung seines Vaters missachtete, zu hoch flog und von heftigen Winden zu Tode geschleudert wurde; erzählt im Zusammenhang mit einem ungehorsamen Mönch, der Unterweisung übel nahm.

Once the Bodhisatta was a vulture in Gijjhakūṭa. His son, Supatta, was king of the vultures; he was very strong and supported his parents. One day, against the advice of his father, he flew in the upper air and was dashed to death by the Verambhā-wind.

The story was related in reference to a disobedient monk of good family, who objected to being instructed in his duties (J.iii.483 f; cf. the Migalopa Jātaka; see also the Dubbaca and the Indasamāṇagotta Jātaka).

The Catudvāra Jātaka (J.iv.1 ff) was related in reference to the same monk.
