Kiṃchanda Jātaka
Jātaka一則本生故事,講一位貪贓枉法的司祭因一次佈施之善行而轉生為晝受苦、夜享樂的果報,其舊主國王在芒果林中尋訪到他,是佛陀講給一些持齋的在家弟子聽的。
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.
