The Nesâda of the Mora Jâtaka also who is ordered by the king to catch a golden peacock practises the profession of a hunter in a Nesâda village lying near Benares (Bârâṇasiyâ avidûre nesâdagâmavâsî nesâdo II. 36). Likewise, in a village inhabited by members of his race and lying not far from Benares, lives the Nesâda of the Rohantamiga Jâtaka; he captures a deer, while he sets up with a stick a sling fitted with leather straps.
