### [48.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2121.48.36)

昔有烏名曰拘耆（梁言赤嘴烏也）遊在叢樹產乳諸子在於樹上。時拘耆與一獼猴共為親厚。時叢樹間有一毒蛇。伺行不在。噉拘耆子無復遺餘。拘耆失子悲鳴啼呼不知所在。熟自思惟。知蛇所噉。獼猴歸見問之何為。答曰。蛇噉我子了盡無餘。獼猴曰。我當報之。時毒蛇行。獼猴前遶之。蛇怒纏獼猴。獼猴捉得頭曳。至石上磨破而死。棄擲而還。拘耆踊躍（出赤嘴烏喻經）。

> Anciently, there was a crow named Koji (in the language of Liang, "red-beaked crow"), who roamed in a grove and gave birth to and reared several fledglings in a tree. Koji was closely intimate with a monkey. At that time, among the trees was a venomous snake. Watching for when the crow was away, it devoured all of Koji's fledglings without leaving a single one. Losing her fledglings, Koji wailed and shrieked in grief, not knowing where they were. Thinking carefully, she knew the snake had devoured them. The monkey returned, saw her, and asked what had happened. She replied: "A snake devoured my fledglings, leaving none behind." The monkey said: "I shall avenge them." Then, when the venomous snake was moving, the monkey circled in front of it. The enraged snake coiled around the monkey. The monkey grabbed its head and dragged it onto a rock, smashing it to death. Casting it aside, he returned. Koji leaped for joy. (Extracted from the Sūtra of the Parable of the Red-Beaked Crow).
