Suvannasama Jataka has a story that the Bodhisatta took the birth of a Brahmin named Suvannasama, the son of Brahmin Dukul and Parika. They both had been blind, having suffered from the results of the bad dded in a previous life. Suvannasama served his parents very well. One day, he was shot with a poison arrow by King Kabinlayak, the ruler of Varanasi because of misunderstanding, was greatly disressed. But he showed mercy to his offenders. Before losing consciousness, he entrusted the king to take care of his parets instead. The king was very sad. Therefore, he went to inform the parents of Suvannasama and brought them to meet him. With the prayers of his parents, Suvannasama was revived. The parents’ eyes were healed. He told the king that this was because of the merit in caring for his parents and preached the Dhamma to the king. Causing the king to believe in the truth to stop killing animals, to make merit, and to reign the city by virtues. This story focuses on the perfection of loving-kindness.
