Jataka on the story of Bhuridata. While residing at the Jetavanna monastery in Savatthi, the Buddha spoke to his followers about one of his previous life, when he was Bhuridata, the naga prince who successfully followed the eight precepts. The story is that. Bhuridata was a son of King Thataratha, the leader of the underwater world. One day, he was cought by a Brahmin who had magic power to subdue nagas and snakes, and was shown around various places. Bhuridata repressed his anger and his shame in order to successfully follow the eight precepts. Finally, he was helped by his brother, Suthatsana who infectd the Brahmin with venom. Colophon: Folio 25 on the recto side: Chunlasangkat (CS) 1222, a kot san year, on the third day of the waning moon of the eleventh lunar month, the third day of the week (Tuesday). The younger brother of the king, who was director of the royal palace on the back, had […] the Teachings of the Buddha. May my wishes come true. Nibbāna paccayo hontu no (May this be a condition for us to reach Nibbāna).
