Cakkavāka Jātaka (No. 434).—A greedy crow, dissatisfied with the fish from the Ganges, flew to the Himālaya and there, seeing two golden-coloured geese (cakkavāka), asked what they fed on that they should be so beautiful. The geese replied that not food but character made people comely; the crow was too greedy ever to be beautiful. - [Previous: v1.c16.30](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16.30) - [Next: v1.c16.32](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16.32) - [Up: v1.c16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16) ## Linked texts (1) - [Jātaka](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.jataka.434) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16.31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16.31) · Pramāṇa
