Art. XXVIII.—A Modern Parallel to the Culla-Paduma Jataka (193)

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  15 March 2011

Extract

[Mr. W. Crooke, late of Mirzapur, and Editor of North Indian Notes and Queries, kindly gave me the notes of the following story as told by the Brahman. In his version the story is much shortened, the Iguana episode does not occur, and the finale is different. But this story is more dramatic than the Jataka, and it is not improbable that here we have a version nearer than that is to the original.]
