[Full title: 闯腻迟补办补蝉 and 础惫补诲腻苍补蝉 in the 础尘补谤腻惫补迟墨 Art: Matakabhatta J膩taka]

Story:-

When Brahmadatta was the king of Banaras a learned 叠谤腻丑尘补峁嘺 desired to perform a feast for the dead. He got a sacrificial goat. With the instruction of the father the son took it to the river for sacrifice. The goat remembering of its past deeds cried for freedom from the past misery. At the same time it wept bitterly thinking that the 叠谤腻丑尘补峁嘺 would suffer the same misery by killing it. The goat said to the 叠谤腻丑尘补峁嘺 that in his past life he offered the sacrificial goat to fulfill the feast for the dead. For this sin he had to take the life of a goat to be killed in the same manner. For this sin he had to take birth for four ninety-nine times and the present one being 500^th birth would give him freedom. He wept visualizing the same penalty to be imposed on the 叠谤腻丑尘补峁嘺 for killing him. The 叠谤腻丑尘补峁嘺 then decided not to kill him. But the goat replied that he cannot escape from death that day. The 叠谤腻丑尘补峁嘺 decided to guard him. The moment the goat was set free it reached out its neck to brouse on the leaves on a bush. Soon after that a thunderbolt struck the rock cutting off a mass which hit the goat鈥檚 neck and tore it off^[1].
