Jujaka the fifth episode with 79 verses in a total of 13 episodes of the Vessantara Jataka. Jujaka the old Brahmin lived in Kalinga city. He wandered for begging. When he got money he left it with his friend. When Jujaka was away for long, then his friend spent the money all. Later, Jujaka came back and asked for his money. His friend did not have money to pay off debt; he gave him his young daughter named Amittata instead. Juajaka took Amittata to his home. Amittata was condemned by wives of other Brahmins as having the old husband. So, she appealed Jujaka to beg the two children from Vessantara as her servants. Jujaka therefore travelled to Mount Vamka.
