1. Saṅkha Jātaka (No. 442).—The Bodhisatta was once born in Molini-nagara (Benares) as a very rich brahmin, named Saṅkha. He spent six thousand daily on almsgiving. He had a ship built, equipped and prepared to sail for Suvaṇṇabhūmi. A Pacceka Buddha, seeing him with his divine eye, and foreseeing the danger in store for him, appeared before him on the way to the seaport. Saṅkha paid him all honour and presented him with his shoes and umbrella.
