He returns to find that the ox has been eaten by hunters, only the tail, one leg and the skin being left. “If thou, Aggi-Bhagavā, hast not the power to look after thine own, how canst thou guard me?” So saying, he quenches the fire with water and becomes an anchorite. In the verses of this context Aggi is addressed as Jātaveda. - [Previous: v1.c6.223](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.223) - [Next: v1.c6.225](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.225) - [Up: v1.c6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6) ## Linked texts (1) - [Jātaka](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.jataka.144) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.224](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.224) · Pramāṇa
