1. Amba Jātaka (No. 124).—During a very severe drought a hermit, living in the Himālaya at the head of five hundred ascetics, provided water for the animals, using the hollowed trunk of a tree as trough. In gratitude the animals brought him various fruits, enough for himself and his five hundred companions. The story is related regarding a brother who was very zealous in his duties, doing everything well and wholeheartedly. Because of his great goodness the people fed regularly every day five hundred of the Brethren.
