Asampadānajātaka untranslated

Asampadānajātaka (Ja 131). The Bodhisatta was born in Rājagaha and became known as Saṅkhaseṭṭhi, worth eighty crores. He had a friend, Piliyaseṭṭhi, in Benares, equally wealthy. Piliya having lost all his wealth, sought the assistance of Saṅkha, who gave him one-half of all his possessions. Later, Saṅkha, himself becoming bankrupt, went with his wife to Benares to seek help from Piliya; the latter, however, dismissed him with half a quarter of pollard. On the way back Saṅkha was recognised by an erstwhile servant of his whom he had given to Piliya. This servant befriended Saṅkha and his wife, and with the help of his companions, brought to the king’s notice Piliya’s ingratitude. The king, having tried the case, wished to give all Piliya’s wealth to Saṅkha, but at the latter’s request restored to him only what he had, in days of prosperity, given to Piliya. The story is related in reference to Devadatta’s ingratitude. Ja.i.465-9.
