Ummadantī Jātaka

Jātaka

Chuyện Bổn sanh về Ummadantī, một thiếu nữ có sắc đẹp khiến mọi người thấy đều phát điên, và một vị vua chọn con đường đúng đắn, thậm chí cả cái chết, hơn là khuất phục trước dục vọng dành cho nàng, được kể liên quan đến một tỳ khưu tuyệt vọng sau khi thấy một phụ nữ xinh đẹp.

The story of Ummadantī. The story was related in connection with a backsliding brother who, having seen a very beautiful woman as he was going his alms-rounds in Sāvatthi, gave himself up to despair and had to be led to the Buddha for admonition (J.v.209 ff).

The story is also found, with certain slight variations, in the Jātakamālā under the title of Ummādayantī Jātaka (No.xiii).

The tale of a maiden who made all who saw her mad, and of the love-smitten monarch who preferred walking in the right path and even meeting death itself to indulging in passion, is found also in the Kathāsaritsāgara. e.g., in the 15th, 23rd and 91st taranga.
