In the Kuruṅgamiga Jātaka (I. 173) a gāmavāsiyaṭṭakaluddaka is mentioned, i.e., a hunter living in the village who prepares an ambush in tall trees under which he has noticed traces of the deer and from there kills the animal. - [Previous: c17.43](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.fick-1897.c17.43) - [Next: c17.45](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.fick-1897.c17.45) - [Up: c17](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.fick-1897.c17) ## Linked texts (1) - [Jātaka](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.jataka.21) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.fick-1897.c17.44](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.fick-1897.c17.44) · Pramāṇa
