Byaggha Jātaka
Jātaka一则本生故事,讲一位愚昧的树神不听劝告,故意吓走了原本因其存在而使樵夫不敢入林伐木的一狮一虎,结果树林随之惨遭砍伐,他此后想引回二兽却徒劳无功,此事讲述瞿迦利在侮辱舍利弗与大目犍连之后,试图挽回二人却枉费心力。
A Jātaka about a foolish tree-spirit who, against wiser advice, frightens away the lion and tiger whose presence had kept woodcutters from felling the forest, only to see the trees destroyed once the animals are gone, then tries in vain to lure them back, told about Kokālika’s futile attempt to win back Sāriputta and Mahā-Moggallāna after insulting them.
