327. The Lion And The Cow

Once upon a time when Brahmadatta was reigning in Benares, the Bodhisatta was born as his son, and after acquiring all the arts at Takkasila, on his father’s death, he ruled his kingdom righteously.

At that time a shepherd while tending cattle in the forest, inadvertently left behind a cow. Between this cow and a lioness sprang up a firm friendship. The two animals became fast friends and went about together.
