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.

The request succeeded, and heavy rain fell. - [Previous: v2.c31.242](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.242) - [Next: v2.c31.244](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.244) - [Up: v2.c31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.243](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.243) · Pramāṇa
