The Bodhisatta as a forest ascetic who recognised and drove away a monkey that had disguised itself in an anchorite’s robe, a story told with reference to a hypocritical monk.

A story of the Bodhisatta and Devadatta both born as monkeys, in which a mischievous monkey identified with Devadatta refused to heed a warning and, along with many others, was later killed by the king’s archers for its fat, told in reference to Devadatta’s fate of being swallowed by the earth.
