Kiṃchanda Jātaka
Jātaka一则本生故事,讲一位贪赃枉法的司祭因一次布施之善行而转生为昼受苦、夜享乐的果报,其旧主国王在芒果林中寻访到他,是佛陀讲给一些持斋的在家弟子听的。
A chaplain of the king of Bārāṇasī, who took bribes and gave false judgments, is reborn to a state of suffering all day, but as a result of having given a mango fruit to a woman who was keeping the fast, he enjoys great glory throughout the night in a charming mango-grove. His king, who had become an ascetic, eats a mango which had been carried by the river from this grove, and wishes for some more. He is transported by a river nymph (Uppalavaṇṇā of this age) to the mango-grove, where he hears from his erstwhile chaplain the story of his alternate bliss and misery. The Buddha related the story to some of his lay disciples who were keeping the fast (J.v.1 ff). The king is identified with the Bodhisatta.
