Māluta Jātaka
JātakaUn jātaka sur un lion et un tigre partageant une grotte qui se disputent pour savoir si la quinzaine sombre ou claire du mois est plus froide, résolu par un ermite (le Bodhisatta) expliquant que le froid vient du vent plutôt que de la lumière ou de l’obscurité — raconté en référence à deux moines forestiers ayant la même dispute.
Once, two friends, a lion and a tiger, lived in a cave. They had a dispute as to which was the cold part of the month, the dark half or the light, and they referred the matter to a hermit (the Bodhisatta), who said that the cold was caused by wind and not by light or darkness.
The story was told to two forest dwelling monks of Kosala, Kāḷa and Juṇha, who consulted the Buddha in a similar dispute. The lion and the tiger are identified with the monks. J.i.164 ff.
