302. The Bodisatta And The Partridge

Once upon a time when Brahmadatta was reigning in Benares, the Bodisatta was born in a brahmin family. And when he grew up, he studied all the arts at Takkasila, and giving up the world devoted himself to the ascetic life in the Himalayas, and developed all the Faculties and Attainments. There enjoying the pleasures of ecstatic meditation he lived in a pleasant grove. He went to a village to procure salt and vineger. The people, on seeing him, became believers, and built him a hut of leaves in a wood, and providing him with all that a Buddhist requires, made a home for him there.
