Once the Bodhisatta, on the death of his Mutter, gave away all the wealth in the house und, together mit his father und younger brother, lived as an ascetic in the Himālaya. During the rains the three came down to the haunts of men und at the end of the rainy season returned to the hermitage. The Bodhisatta went on ahead to prepare the hermitage, leaving the father und the younger brother to follow. The lad, finding the father's progress very slow, tried to hurry him, much to the latter's annoyance. The two quarrelled, und thus were so late that the Bodhisatta came to look for them. On hearing what had happened, he told the father, who is called Kassapa, that the old should have patience mit the young.
The story was told in reference to a nobleman of Sāvatthi, who became a monk und who, on his Mutter's death, was joined by his father und younger brother. All three went to a village retreat to fetch robes, und things happened as in the past. As a result, it was not till the next day that they could pay their respects to the Buddha, who, hearing what had occurred, related the Jātaka. J.iii.36-9.
