Sigāla Jātaka (No. 148).—The Bodhisatta was once born as a jackal, and, coming across the dead body of an elephant, ate into it from behind and lived inside it. When the body dried up, he became a prisoner and made frenzied efforts to escape. Then a storm broke, moistening the hide and allowing him to emerge through the head, but not without losing all his hair as he crawled through. He thereupon resolved to renounce greediness. - [Previous: v2.c36.2612](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.2612) - [Next: v2.c36.2614](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.2614) - [Up: v2.c36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.2613](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.2613) · Pramāṇa
