Tissā10

Person

Die Frau des Muṇḍagutta, die, um Almosen geben zu können, ihren Sohn verkaufte, um eine Kuh zu kaufen, deren reichhaltige geklärte Butter die Eifersucht eines Ministers weckte, bis der König, als er die Wahrheit erfuhr, das Paar belohnte und den Minister bestrafte.

Wife of Muṇḍagutta. Wishing to give alms, they sold their son and bought a cow, which gave them rich ghee. A minister, displeased with them, had the cow confiscated by the king; but the king discovering that Tissā alone could milk her, asked her for her story, and gave them great rewards, making the minister their slave. They lived in Tissambatittha in the time of Saddhā Tissa. Ras.ii.31 f.
