Antajātaka untranslated

Antajātaka (Ja 295). Preached at Veḷuvana regarding Devadatta and Kokālika, who were going about singing each other’s praises in order to obtain followers.

The story of the past is of a jackal who was eating the carcase of a bull. A crow, seeing him, flattered him, hoping to get some of the flesh.

The jackal and the crow were Devadatta and Kokālika respectively (Ja.ii.440-1).
