Sigāla Jātaka (No. 142).—Once, during a festival in Benares, some rogues were drinking and eating till late at night, and when the meat was finished, one of them offered to go to the charnel-field and kill a jackal for food. Taking a club, he lay down as though dead. The Bodhisatta, then king of the jackals, came there with his flock, but in order to make sure that it was a corpse, he pulled at the club. The man tightened his grip, and the Bodhisatta mocked at his silliness. The man then threw the club at the jackals, but they escaped. - [Previous: v2.c36.2609](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.2609) - [Next: v2.c36.2611](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.2611) - [Up: v2.c36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.2610](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.2610) · Pramāṇa
