### [v2.c31.364](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.364)

Maṭṭakuṇḍali Jātaka (No. 449).—The son of a wealthy brahmin died at the age of sixteen and was reborn among the devas. From the time of his son’s death, the brahmin would go to the cemetery and walk round the heap of ashes, moaning piteously. The deva visited him and admonished him, as in the story of Maṭṭakuṇḍali. The brahmin followed his advice and gave up his grief.
