So he went up to the man and said, " Hi! my man! give me some meat," and the hunter gave him some skin and bone; the second, going up to him addressed him as " Elder Brother " and was given a joint; but the third cajoled him, calling him " Father," and received a savoury piece of meat; while the fourth (the Bodhisatta) addressed him as " Friend," and was given the whole of the rest of the deer, and the meat was conveyed to his house in the man's cart. - [Previous: v2.c30.722](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c30.722) - [Next: v2.c31.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.2) - [Up: v2.c31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.1) · Pramāṇa
