Kosiya Jātaka (No. 130).—A brahmin of Benares had a bad wife who lay in bed by day feigning sickness and spent her nights in enjoyment. The husband worked hard to supply her with dainties, and, in consequence, could not visit his teacher who was the Bodhisatta. When the latter discovered the truth, he advised the brahmin to prepare a mess of cow-dung and other things and to insist that his wife should either swallow this medicine or get up and work. She then knew that her shamming was discovered and abandoned her evil ways. - [Previous: v1.c12.3577](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.3577) - [Next: v1.c12.3579](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.3579) - [Up: v1.c12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.3578](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.3578) · Pramāṇa
