_Source._--The _Lola Jataka_, Fausböll, No. 274, kindly translated
and slightly abridged for this book by Mr. W. H. D. Rouse.
_Remarks._--We began with an animal Jataka, and may appropriately
finish with one which shows how effectively the writers of the Jatakas
could represent animal folk, and how terribly moral they invariably
were in their tales. I should perhaps add that the Bodhisat is not
precisely the Buddha himself but a character which is on its way to
becoming perfectly enlightened, and so may be called a future Buddha.
