Jātaka

菩萨化身为林中苦行者,识破一只披上苦行僧衣伪装的猴子并将其赶走,此故事借以讽喻一位虚伪的比丘。

Once when the Bodhisatta was living the ascetic life in the Himavā, his wife having died, a monkey came in the rainy weather to the hermitage clad in an anchorite’s robe which he had found in the forest. The Bodhisatta recognised the monkey and drove him away.

The story was told in reference to a hypocritical brother. J.ii.268 ff
