¹ This is the well-known Rākshasī-sūtra (so called in Divy., 524) given in full in Mvst., iii, 67; cf. Divy., 120; Rom. Leg., 332, and a mutilated version in Jāt., 196. In the earlier form of the story the horse was Buddha, but here Avalokiteśvara takes his place, and saves the caravan leader, who is Buddha in a previous birth.
