Culajanaka-Jataka.

52. CŪḶA-JANAKA-JĀTAKA.

"Toil on, my brother."

--This story was told by the Master while at Jetavana, about another backsliding Brother. All the incidents that are to be related here, will be given in the Mahā-janaka-Jātaka [106].

The king, seated beneath the white canopy of sovereignty, recited this stanza:--

[§52] "Toil on, my brother; still in hope stand fast; Faint not, nor tire, though harassed sore. Myself I see, who, all my woes o’erpast, Have fought my stubborn way ashore.

Here too the backsliding Brother won Arahatship. The All-wise Buddha was King Janaka.
