Vissāsabhojana Jātaka (No. 93).—The Bodhisatta was once a rich merchant and had a herdsman to guard his cows in a forest shieling. They gave but little milk, through fear of a lion living in the forest. The merchant, knowing that the lion loved a doe, had her caught and her body rubbed with poison. When she returned to the forest, the lion licked her body and died.
