XVII. A LESSON FOR KINGS.

_Source._--_Rajovada Jataka_, Fausböll, No. 151, tr.

Rhys-Davids, pp. xxii.-vi.

_Remarks._--This is one of the earliest of moral allegories in

existence. The moralising tone of the Jatakas must be conspicuous to

all reading them. Why, they can moralise even the Tar Baby (see

_infra_, Note on "Demon with the Matted Hair," No. xxv.).
