Childhood later, at the Ma-out-momentum, in Rajgir, a king Ma-out-momentum reigning. At that time, the Bodhisattva was born as a deer, and grew up in the woods with a thousand deer. Bodhisattva bore two deer, named Lakkhana (auspicious) and Kala (Black). When old, Bodhisattva said to the children:- Dear dear, now I am old, you just take care of the deer. Then Bodhisattva delivered five hundred deer for each child. From then on, two deer herds that care. In Ma-out-momentum, in the fall of grain, rice flowering when full, are more dangerous for the deer. With the aim of killing the animals eat rice, the villagers dug trenches, plugging husband, described the trap rock, trapping sop and other kinds of pitfalls. Many deer in distress to die. Bodhisattva known to bear the full grain, to call back and say two children: - Dear relatives, this is the full flowering of grain, many deer were near accidents. I am old now will use any means to stay in one place. And you bring herds of children, hidden in the rocky mountain path in the woods, waiting for the rice harvest is complete, will return again! We obey the teachings of his father, leaving the deer entourage. The villagers know their way away. In this time, the deer climbing; in this time, we went down the mountain, so they hide in the secret, here and there along the way, to shoot and kill countless. Kala deer, with his ignorance, do not know when to go, what time should not go, just bring the deer to go in the morning, afternoon, when dusk, dawn, past the village gate. And the farmer or revealing or hiding here and there to kill them, causing many deer in distress. So, with his ignorance, deer Kala makes many deer in distress, the rest goes into the woods with it very little. And thanks to the location Lakkhana deer, intelligent, skillful, yet know when to go, what time should not go, it does not pass through the village gate, do not go during the day, do not go at sunset, dawn, but only bring the deer away at midnight. Therefore, not a deer in distress yet, and we go into the woods with it. We lived here for four months when the rice has been harvested, new down the mountain. Kala, on the way back, repeating foolish action before, making the remaining deer crashed, again, alone it back. Lakkhana deer doe does not make a distress, along with five hundred deer around, going about with their parents. When the Bodhisattva saw two go on, think about the deer and said this verse:
Humans have morality
Thus, the Bodhisattva celebrate deer, live in it for the end of life and followed his career.welcome reward, View Lak-kha-na on, they led the people, Ca-la See this destruction with her children.
