65. The Bodhisatta – As A Spirit Of The Air
Once upon a time when Brahmadatta was reigning in Benares, the Bodhisatta was born a Spirit of the Air. In Benares, night festival of Kattika was celebrated and the city was decorated like a city of the gods, and the whole people kept holiday. And a poor man had only a couple of old dresses which he had washed and pressed. But his wife said, “My husband, I want a safflower coloured cloth to were outside and one to wear underneath; wearing those, I want to go the festival hanging round your neck.”
