Saṅkha Jātaka.—The Bodhisatta was once born as a brahmin in Takkasilā and had a son, Susīma. When Susīma was about sixteen, he took leave of his father and went to Benares to study the Vedas. His teacher, who was a friend of his father’s, taught him all he knew, and then Susīma went to Isipatana, where lived some Pacceka Buddhas. He entered the Order under them, attained arahantship, and died while yet young. Having heard no news of his son for some time, Saṅkha was alarmed and went to Benares in search of him. There, after enquiry, he heard of his son’s death as a Pacceka Buddha, and was shown the shrine erected in his memory. Saṅkha weeded the grass round the shrine, sprinkled sand, watered it, scattered wild flowers round it, and raised aloft his robe as banner over it. He then planted his parasol over the top and departed. - [Previous: v2.c36.358](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.358) - [Next: v2.c36.360](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.360) - [Up: v2.c36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.359](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.359) · Pramāṇa
