v2.c36.4047

The cow was a Yakkhiṇī, who had once been a courtezan. These four men had then been sons of wealthy merchants, who, having taken her one day to a pleasure garden, took their pleasure with her. In the evening they killed her and took the jewels and money which they themselves had given her. At the moment of her death she had vowed vengeance on them and had killed them in one hundred existences. In a previous birth, Suppabuddha had insulted the Paceka Buddha Tagarasikhī by calling him a "leper" (*kuṭṭhi*)—because he wore a patched robe—and by spitting on him.¹
