Kāka Jātaka (No. 146).—Once a crow came with his mate to the seashore and ate freely of the remnants of a sacrifice which had been offered by men to the Nāgas and drank freely of the strong drink which he found. Both crows became drunk, and, while trying to swim in the surf, the hen-crow was washed into the sea and eaten by a fish. Hearing the husband's lamentations, many crows gathered together and started to empty the ocean, working away until ready to drop from weariness. Seeing their plight, the Bodhisatta, who was then a sea-sprite, caused a bogey to appear from the sea, frightening them away. - [Previous: v1.c12.1353](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.1353) - [Next: v1.c12.1355](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.1355) - [Up: v1.c12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.1354](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.1354) · Pramāṇa
