Jātaka

बोधिसत्व की जातक-कथा, जो मुर्गियों के झुंड के प्रमुख के रूप में एक बाज़ के छल-भरे मित्रता प्रस्ताव को ठुकराते हैं, जो देवदत्त द्वारा बुद्ध की हत्या के प्रयासों के संदर्भ में सुनाई गई।

The Bodhisatta was once the chief of a large flock of fowls. A falcon, by means of engaging speech, tried to become friendly with him in order to eat him, but his attempts failed. There could be no friendship between fowl and falcon, said the Bodhisatta. The story was related in reference to Dedavatta’s attempts to kill the Buddha. v.l. Kukkuha. J.iv.55 ff
