A lion used to range near the cave in which his shadow was reflected. This so terrified the boars that one day they fetched mud from a neighbouring pool with which they rubbed the crystal; but because of the boars' bristles, the more they rubbed, the brighter grew the crystal. In despair they consulted the Bodhisatta, who told them that a crystal could not be sullied. - [Previous: v2.c31.444](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.444) - [Next: v2.c31.446](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.446) - [Up: v2.c31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.445](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.445) · Pramāṇa
