Sālūkajātaka untranslated
Sālūkajātaka (Ja 286). The Bodhisatta was once an ox named Mahā Lohita and his brother was Cūḷa Lohita. They both belonged to a village family, and when the girl of the family grew up and was married, a pig, called Sālūka, was fattened for the feast. Cūḷa Lohita, saw this and coveted the food which was being given to the pig, but when he complained to his brother, it was explained to him that the pig’s lot was an unhappy one.
The introductory story is given in the Cūḷa Nāradakassapajātaka. Sālūka is identified with the love-sick monk of that story, and Cūḷa Lohita with Ānanda. Ja.ii.419f.
