- Abstract
- en_US The subtitle continues "adaptation d'après les textes anciens." I read the first four this time. The first I have read before. A bull offers to participate in a wager for his master, competing to pull a huge wagon-train of carts. The master mounts the bull and calls him a name, hoping to spur him to better performance. The bull does nothing and later clarifies: he deserved soft words, not harsh ones. The master changes his approach, and the bull wins a return-wager. In "Bhojajaniya," a noble horse volunteers to help his master conquer the last foe, even though he is wounded. In the fourth of these tales, a long-lived king asks his barber to inform him the first time that the barber finds a gray hair. When the barber does so, the king retires: "Gray hairs are messengers of death. I want to prepare myself." Each Jataka has a one-word name. There is a T of C at the end of the 99-page booklet.
