1. Sīlavīmaṃsa Jātaka (No. 330).—The Bodhisatta was once chaplain of the king of Benares, later becoming an ascetic. One day he saw a hawk, attacked by other birds, drop a piece of meat he had stolen. On another day he saw a slave-girl, Piṅgalā, waiting for her lover until late into the night, and, when he did not come, she fell asleep. On a third occasion he saw a hermit meditating. Drawing a moral from these incidents, he lived the hermit-life and was reborn in the Brahma-world.¹
