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 1.
The king, seated beneath the white canopy of sovereignty, recited this stanza:--
"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.
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.
