Giridatta Jātaka

Jātaka

Ein Jātaka über ein königliches Pferd, das nach dem Vorbild seines hinkenden Dompteurs zu hinken beginnt, woraufhin der königliche Berater, der Bodhisatta, die Ursache des schlechten Einflusses erkennt und den mit Devadatta gleichgesetzten Dompteur austauschen lässt

King Sāma of Bārāṇasī had a state horse Paṇḍava, whose trainer was the lame Giridanta. Observing that his trainer limped, the horse imitated him. When the king saw the horse limping, not being able to discover the reason, he asked his adviser, the Bodhisatta, to investigate the matter. The Bodhisatta reported that it was the result of evil association, and had the trainer replaced by another. The trainer was Devadatta (J.ii.98 f).

For the introductory story see the Mahilāmukha Jātaka.
