### [v2.c31.675](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.675)

Manoja Jātaka (No. 397).—The Bodhisatta was once a lion and had a son called Manoja. One day Manoja, in spite of his father’s warnings, made friends with a jackal called Giriya. Acting on Giriya’s suggestion, Manoja went in search of horse-flesh and attacked the king’s horses. The king engaged the services of an archer, who shot Manoja as he was making off with a horse. Manoja managed to reach his den, but there he fell down dead.¹
