Tissa40
PersonEin Diener von König Saddhā Tissa, der mit der Drohung der Hinrichtung geprüft wurde, sich aber weigerte, Fasane für die königliche Tafel zu töten, was den König von seiner Integrität überzeugte, bevor er stattdessen bereits tote Vögel von einem Vogelfänger besorgte.
An attendant of King Saddhā Tissa. The king, wishing to eat pheasants, asked Tissa to procure some, having first tested him by threatening to have him executed if he refused to kill fowl for the king’s table. Tissa, even when led to the executioner’s block, refused to kill the birds. The king was thus satisfied that Tissa would not kill pheasants for him. The next day, Tissa, seeing a fowler hawking some dead pheasants, obtained them for the king.⁵⁶
