Akālarāvi Jātaka (No. 119).—A cock belonging to a school of young brahmins had its neck wrung because it crowed in and out of season. A monk, who is inconsiderately noisy, is the cause of the story being told.¹ In the Dhammapada Commentary² the name of the story is given as Akālarāvikukkuṭa-Jātaka, and is related of the thera Padhānikatissa, who is stated to have been the cock of the Jātaka story.
