Laṭukikajātaka
The Quail
“Elephant of sixty years”—This was a story told by the Master while dwelling in the Bamboo Grove, concerning Devadatta.

He has not an atom of pity for mortals.” When the Master came, he inquired what was the topic the Brethren were assembled to discuss, and on hearing what it was, he said, “Brethren, not now only, but formerly also he was pitiless.” And herewith he told a story of the past.
