Bāhiya Jātaka
Jātaka一则本生故事,讲一位国王从窗口望见一名衣着朴素、身形肥胖的妇人以极端庄谨慎的方式方便,深为其得体举止所打动,遂立她为王后,她后来诞下一位注定成为转轮王的儿子,此事讲的是一位离车族王子体态丰腴的妻子,用以解释比丘们对王子仍钟爱于她感到诧异时佛陀给出的理由。
A Jātaka about a king who, observing from his window how modestly and discreetly an unkempt, overweight woman attends to a private need, is so impressed by her decency that he makes her his chief queen and she bears him a son destined for universal kingship, told about the plain, heavyset wife of a Licchavi prince to explain why he loved her despite the monks’ surprise.
