The stag was the leader of eight myriads of deer. One day a hunter set a snare and the Bodhisatta’s foot got entangled therein. He gave a succession of warning cries and the herd fled. The doe, however, came up to him and encouraged him to try to break the noose. But all his efforts were in vain, and, when the hunter approached, the doe went to him and asked to be allowed to die in her mate’s place. The hunter was so touched and amazed that he set them both free, and the stag gave him a magic jewel which he had found on the feeding-ground. - [Previous: v2.c36.4701](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.4701) - [Next: v2.c36.4703](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.4703) - [Up: v2.c36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.4702](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.4702) · Pramāṇa
