The Bodhisatta born as a young quail who halted an approaching forest fire by an Act of Truth invoking the holiness of the Buddhas, a story the Buddha later retold after a similar fire was stopped during his travels in Magadha.

The Bodhisatta born as a contented forest quail whose fine condition a greedy crow assumed was due to rich food, until the quail explained it came instead from a mind free of desire and fear.

A cross-reference noting that the Sammodamāna Jātaka is also known by this name.
