- Abstract
- en_US The first line here proclaims that once the Buddha was born as a King of Fishes. A drought reduces the happy lake to a crowded pond, with fish-eating birds circling above it. The Fish King prayed for rain, and it was granted. The basis of his prayer was his love for his fellow creatures. When the lake became full, the Fish King again prayed, this time that the rain would stop, and it did. The god Indra appeared and promised that the lake and land would never dry up again. It is not clear what role Tulku and Mangalam play in the production of this booklet. They sign the introductory page about Jataka Tales.
