2.8.1
When Jāliya couldn’t get Pāṭikaputta to shift from his seat even with this simile,
2.8.2
he said to him:
2.8.3
‘Seeing himself as equal to the lion,
2.8.4
the jackal presumed “I’m the king of the beasts!”
2.8.5
But he actually only managed to yelp,
2.8.6
and what’s a sad jackal’s squeal to the roar of a lion?
2.8.7
In the same way, reverend, while living off the leavings of the Holy One, you presume to attack him!’
