PersonL’épouse de Muṇḍagutta qui, désirant faire l’aumône, vendit son fils pour acheter une vache dont le ghee abondant suscita la jalousie d’un ministre, jusqu’à ce que le roi, apprenant la vérité, récompense le couple et punisse le ministre.
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.
