3. Sigālaka Sutta.—Some Sākyan monks have not as much gratitude as a jackal.¹ The Commentary adds² that the sutta was preached in reference to Devadatta, and the story was about a jackal who was released by a peasant from a snake who had coiled round it. The snake attacked the peasant, and the jackal brought the peasant his axe in its mouth, enabling the man to kill the snake.
