Tissa40
PersonUn serviteur du roi Saddhā Tissa, mis à l’épreuve par une menace d’exécution mais refusant de tuer des faisans pour la table royale, ce qui satisfit le roi de son intégrité, avant d’obtenir des oiseaux déjà morts auprès d’un oiseleur à la place.
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
