Jambukhādaka Jātaka

Jātaka

Un jātaka sur un esprit d’arbre, le Bodhisatta, dans un bosquet de jambu, qui observe un corbeau devenu complaisant par la flatterie d’un chacal et chasse les deux menteurs — raconté en référence à des rapports selon lesquels Devadatta et Kokālika se faisaient mutuellement des louanges.

The Bodhisatta was once a tree-sprite in a jambu-grove and saw how a crow, flattered by the words of a jackal sitting under the tree, dropped fruits for him to eat, praising his breeding. The sprite drove them both away as being liars.

The story was related in reference to a report that Devadatta and Kokālika were going about singing each other’s praises. J.ii.438 f; cp. Anta Jātaka.
