The content tells about Dhananjaya Pandita Jataka. The Bodhisattva had his life as Vidhura Pandita who was a sage in the court of King Koroppharat of Indapatta kingdom. Once, Dhananjaya saved King Koroppharat from Nanda Giant by preaching the Dhamma. Therefore, the king appointed Dhananjaya as the royal fourth sage. One day, Dhananjaya and other three sages diagnosed various problems for the king. Dhananjaya’s answers were clever accordingto the natural reality that made the other three sages could not argue. The three sages were jealous and slandered Dhananjaya that made the king unhappy. Finally, Dhananjaya was expelled by the king. Later on, Inthapat kingdom was chaos because guardian spirits and Nanda Giant did not listen to the Dhamma for long, they thus made strange happenings in the kingdom. Therefore, the king gave his order to call Dhanajaya back for resolving the problems. Later, Dhananjaya was appointed by the king as viceroy.
