mother who bore him, as a prey to the water-demon, and, finally, his own life also to save this Mahauṣadha Pandit, which fact, meritorious citizens, do you all hear and keep in mind.”

Thus it is that wisdom, because it accomplishes any thought of man, is supernatural and miraculous. It is as hard to capture as a horse's hair split into a hundred parts; and because it is of unspeakable assistance to man for all his good in this world and in the next, it is thought to be the only highest good. In these words the Ascetic, like one placing a pinnacle of precious stones on the top of a palace, made on the seven precious things, built of the virtue of his wisdom, proclaimed the wisdom of the Bōsat, exalting it, and made an end of the Ummagga Jātaka, concluding it with the question of the water-demon. Thus our Lord Buddha, the Lord of the three worlds, having proclaimed the four sublime truths, of suffering, of the cause of suffering, described the exercise of his wisdom in the hearing of the Bhikkus, who assembled in the court of Dharma, as if he were drawing it on the orb of the moon. That proclamation of the Dharma did great good to many mortals, gods, nāgās, and supuņņās. After he had thus related the Jātaka, the Buddha explained who those great personages were, beginning with Mahauṣadha Pandit, and recited this

stanza:

"Bheri Uppalavannāsi pita Suddhōdano ahu
Mātā āsi Mahāmāyā Amarā Bimbasundarī
Suvo ahosi Anando Sariputtosi Cūlanī

Mahosadho lokanatho evam dhāretha jātakam."

"Mendicants! the Ascetic of that time is the great nun, Uppalavaņņa; the Pandit's father, Siriwaḍdhana Situ, is King Suddhodana; the Pandit's mother, Sumanā Devi, is Queen Mahāmāyā; and the Pandit's wife, Amara Devi, is Princess Yasodhara, who bore my son,

Prince Rahula, being the chief queen over a hundred and sixty-nine thousand queens; and the parrot who conveyed all secret messages, and did the Pandit every service, is my brother, Ananda Thera, who is the chief of those who attend upon Buddha, and the chief of the wise, the mine of the Dharma, the lover of Buddha, and who is like the full moon in the sky of my Buddhahood; King Culani Brahmadatta, who at that time brought eighteen Akkhohiņīs of men to the city where the Pandit was, and ran away defeated, is Sariputta Thera, the chief of the wise except myself, who is as my right hand; Mahauṣadha Paṇḍit, who at that time, from his seventh year, surpassed the five wise Pandits, Senaka, Pukkusa, Kavinda, Devinda, and Kevaṭṭa, in wisdom, is I myself, who am now the supreme Buddha."

Here ends the Ummagga Jātaka.
