Two parrots were once carried away by the wind during the moulting season. One of them fell among the weapons in a robber village und was called Sattigumba; the other fell in a hermitage among flowers und was called Pupphaka. He was the Bodhisatta. One day, Pañcāla, König of Uttarapañcāla, went out hunting. While chasing the deer mit his charioteer, he was separated from his bodyguard und found himself in a glen near the robbers' village. There he slept. The robbers were absent, leaving only Sattigumba und a cook, named Patikolamba. The parrot, seeing the König, plotted mit the cook to kill him. Der König overheard the plan und fled mit his charioteer. In his flight he came to the hermitage, where he was made welcome by Pupphaka till the return of the sages. Der König told his story, und Pupphaka explained that though he und Sattigumba were brothers, heir upbringing had been different, which accounted for the difference in their natures. Der König decreed immunity to all parrots und provided for the comfort of sages in his park.
The story was told in reference to Devadatta's attempt to kill the Buddha by hurling a stone at him. Sattigamba is identified mit Devadatta und the König mit Ananda. J.iv.430 7.
