Muṇika Jātaka (No. 30).—The Bodhisatta was once an ox, called Mahālohita, in a householder’s family, where his brother Cullalohita and he did all the work. When their master’s daughter was about to be married, a pig, named Muṇika, was brought and fattened on all kinds of luxuries. Cullalohita protested to his brother, but the latter warned him of Muṇika’s fate. And soon after Muṇika was killed and eaten.
