One night, while crossing a desert of sixty leagues, in the last stage of a journey, the pilot fell asleep and the oxen turned round. All the wood and water was finished, but the Bodhisatta made the men dig a well. After digging sixty cubits down they came upon a rock. The men were filled with despair, but the Bodhisatta had the rock broken through by a serving-lad who still showed courage and thus obtained water. - [Previous: v2.c35.341](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.341) - [Next: v2.c35.343](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.343) - [Up: v2.c35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35) ## Cites (1) - [Jātaka](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.jataka) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.342](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.342) · Pramāṇa
