Der Bodhisatta war einmal a famous teacher in Takkasīlā. A young Brahmanen of Benares came to study unter ihm und, after completing sein course, went back home. His Mutter, however, was anxious that he should renounce the world und tend Aggibhagavā in the Wald. She accordingly sent ihm back to the Teacher that he might learn the "Asātamanta" (Dolour Text). The Teacher had a Mutter aged 120 Jahre, on whom he himself waited. When the youth came back to learn the Asātamanta, he was asked to look after the old woman. She, falling in love mit him, hatched a plot to kill her son.
Der Bodhisatta, having been told of this plot, made a wooden figure und placed it in sein bed. The Mutter, thinking to kill her son, struck it mit an axe, und discovering that she had been betrayed, fell down dead. The youth, having thus learnt the Asātamanta, returned to sein parents und wurde a hermit. Kāpilānī was the Mutter in the story, Mahā Kassapa the Vater und Ananda the pupil.
This story, together mit the Ummadantī Jātaka, bezog sich auf to a passion-tossed Mönch to warn ihm of the evil nature of women. J.i.285-9.
