Khurappa Jātaka
JātakaEin Jātaka über einen Waldmenschen, den Bodhisatta, Anführer von fünfhundert Führern, der allein standhielt und Räuber vertrieb, die eine Karawane angriffen, während seine Gefährten flohen, und erklärte, dass, wer heldenhafte Taten vollbringen wolle, das Leben leicht nehmen müsse — erzählt im Bezug auf einen Mönch, der den Eifer für seine Pflichten verloren hatte.
Once the Bodhisatta was a forester, head of five hundred others. They hired themselves out to guide men through the forest. One day, while conducting a caravan, robbers fell on them and all but the Bodhisatta fled; he remained and drove the robbers off. When asked how he could do this, he replied that he who would do heroic deeds must contemn life.
The story was related in reference to a monk who had lost energy in his duties (J.ii.335 f).
