2. Maccha Jātaka (No. 75).—Once the Bodhisatta was born as a fish in a pond; there was a great drought, the crops withered, and water gave out in tanks and ponds and there was great distress. Seeing this, the Bodhisatta approached Pajjuna, god of rain, and made an Act of Truth, begging for rain. The request succeeded, and heavy rain fell.
