Once a religious mendicant, clad in a leather garment, saw a ram falling back before him, und imagining that the animal was doing ihm obeisance, uttered its praises. Der Bodhisatta, who was a Kaufmann, hearing this, warned der Asket that the ram was nur preparing to attack him, und even as he was speaking the animal charged the mendicant und felled ihm to the ground.

Die Geschichte bezog sich auf in reference to ein Mönch of Sāvatthi, to whom a similar thing happened while he was wearing a leather jerkin. J.iii.82ff
