11 The Wisdom of Lakkhaṇa


high-definition creative commons posters depicting The Wisdom of Lakkhaṇa from the Pāḷi Jātaka stories together with further information.

An old stag king appoints his two sons, wise Lakkhaṇa and foolish Kāḷa, to lead five hundred deer each to the mountains to avoid harvest-time traps. Kāḷa travels recklessly during daylight, leading his entire herd to destruction by hunters. Conversely, Lakkhaṇa moves only at night, avoiding human settlements and preserving his entire herd. Lakkhaṇa returns safely with all five hundred deer, while Kāḷa returns utterly alone.
