59. The Bodhisatta – As A Pig

Once upon a time when Brahmadatta was king in Benares, the Bodhisatta was conceived by a wild sow; in due time she delivered two male young pigs. One day she took them and lay down in a pit. And old woman was coming home with a basket-full of cotton from field and tapping the ground with her stick. The sow heard the sound, and in fear of death left her young and ran away. The old woman saw the young pigs, and took them home.
