Cf. Ed. \*Müller\* in AR 3, 1900, 217 ff. and S. \*Singer\* in ZVV 4, 1894, 71 ff. \[^2): Translated by \*Burlingame\*, Buddhist Parables, p. 128 ff. The story is also to be found in the Dhammapada commentary (ed. \*Norman\*, 1, 168 ff., \*Burlingame\* in HOS 28, 252 ff.). Cf. E. \*Hardy\* in JRAS 1898, 741 ff.; J. \*Schick\*, Das Glückskind mit dem Todesbrief (Corpus Hamleticum I, 1), Berlin, 1912, pp. 15 ff., 45 ff., 66 ff. (Singhalese versions). See above, Vol. I, p. 585 (and \*Grierson\* in JRAS 1910, 292 ff.). In Kathā-Sarit-Sāgara, XX, 194 ff., we find only the last motif, namely the motif of the fate intended for the persecuted youth befalling the persecutor himself. \[^3): E. \*Hardy\* (in JRAS, 1902, 951 ff.) compares with it a Christian legend, in which Satan assumes the form of Christ, in order to teach a false doctrine to a monk, and \*Garbe\* (Indien und das Christentum, p. 111 f.) holds that the Christian legend is Buddhist in origin. However, the resemblance seems to me not very striking. \[^4): To Atthasālinī, Papañcasūdanī, and Manoratha-Pūraṇī. \[^5): Edited by C. A. F. \*Rhys Davids\*, 2 vols., PTS 1920-1921. A short table of contents by J. E. \*Carpenter\* in JPTS 1890, p. 14 ff., a detailed analysis and considerable extracts in English translation by H. C. \*Warren\* in JPTS 1891-1893, pp. 76-164, and "Buddhism in Translations," pp. 285 ff., 291 ff., 315 ff., 376 ff., 384 ff. - [Previous: v2.c19.s5.97](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s5.97) - [Next: v2.c19.s5.98.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s5.98.2) - [Up: v2.c19.s5.98](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s5.98) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s5.98.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s5.98.1) · Pramāṇa
