47.120

有女置其嬰兒在於一處。狼擔兒而走。時人捕躡而語之言。汝今何故擔他兒去。狼答之言。此小兒母是我怨家。五百世中常食我兒。我亦五百世常殺其子。若彼能捨舊怨之心。我亦能捨。時人語其兒母。可捨怨心。兒母答言。我今已捨。狼觀兒母。雖口言捨而心不放。害之而去（出抄毘曇第二十八卷）。

There was a woman who placed her infant in a certain spot. A wolf carried the infant on its back and ran off. People of that time pursued and overtook it, saying to it, "Why are you carrying off another's child now?" The wolf replied, "This child's mother is my enemy. For five hundred lifetimes she constantly ate my children, and for five hundred lifetimes I have constantly killed her children. If she can relinquish her old feelings of enmity, I too can relinquish mine." The people said to the child's mother, "You should relinquish your enmity." The child's mother replied, "I have now relinquished it." The wolf observed the child's mother: though her mouth spoke of relinquishing it, her heart did not let it go. So it harmed the child and departed (Extracted from the Chao pidan, fascicle 28).
