**Pāniya Jātaka** (No. 459).—The story of how six persons became Pacceka Buddhas by feeling remorse for sins committed and by developing supernatural insight. The Jātaka derives its name from the first of these, who was a villager of Kāsī. He went with his friend into the fields, each carrying a flask of water. From time to time they drank, but the first drank out of the other’s flask, wishing to save the water in his own. In the evening remorse seized him, and as he stood reflecting on his wickedness he became a Pacceka Buddha.
