CULA-JANAKA-JATAKA

"Toil on, my brother."--This story was told by the Master while at Jetavana monastery, about another backsliding Brother(Monk). All the incidents that are to be told here, will be given in the Maha-janaka-Jataka.

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

Toil on, my brother; still in hope stand fast; Faint not, nor tire, though harassed to pain. Myself I see, who, all my sufferings passed over, Have fought my stubborn way ashore.

Here too the backsliding Brother won Arhatship(Enlightenment equal to Buddha). The All-wise Buddha was King Janaka.
