Kapota Jātaka2

Jātaka

A variant version of the same pigeon-and-crow birth-story, differing chiefly in the punishment inflicted on the crow for stealing fish.

The same as above, except for a few details. When the theft was discovered, the cook made a mixture of moist ginger and white mustard, pounded with a rotten date, and after wounding the crow with a potsherd, rubbed the stuff into the wound and fastened the potsherd round its neck. J.iii.224 ff
