The content tells the past of our Gotama Buddha. When the bodhisattva was born as a golden deer and Devadatta was born as a forest hunter. The Bodhisattva was a friend of a bird and a turtle. One day, the golden deer was caught by the hunter’s snare. The brid and the tortoise came to help. The bird flew to disturb the hunter by nosediving his head and hitting his head with its wings so that the hunter loses time. While the turtle was biting the snare. As the hunter approached, the golden deer jumped out of the snare and ran. The tortoise could not run, so it was caught by the hunter and hung on a branch. The golden deer pretended by injuries in front of the hunter. The hunter chased the deer into the forest. Meantime, the bird was snatching the wooden box to help the turtle, but the box did not break. The golden deer ran back and hit the box with the horn until it shattered, then they got out of there safely.
