Silavīmaṃsana Jātaka (No. 86).—The Bodhisatta was chaplain to the king of Benares and wished to test the respective powers of virtue and learning (as given above in the Silavīmaṃsa Jātaka 1). When being led before the king, he saw snake-charmers exhibiting their snake and warned them lest it should bite them. "He is not like you," they replied, "for he is good."
