ข้อความต้นฉบับในหน้า
"Friend, I understand not a hidden story like this. Catch the thieves and bring them to me."
Then the Bodhisatta said, "Hear then this, sire, and understand." And he told yet another tale.
2) "My lord, formerly in a village outside the city gates of Benares, a potter used to fetch clay for his pottery, and constantly getting it in the same place he dug a deep pit inside a mountain-cave.
Now one day while he was getting the clay, an unseasonable storm-cloud sprang up, and let fall a heavy rain, and the flood overwhelmed and threw down the side of the pit, and the man's head was broken by it. Loudly lamenting he spoke this stanza:
That by which seeds do grow,
man to sustain,
Has crushed my head.
My refuge proved my bane.
The Favorite Jataka"
