Prince Peerless

Asadisajātaka

“Prince Peerless, skilled in archers’ craft”—This story the Master told at Jetavana, about the Great Renunciation. The Master said, “Not now alone, Brethren, has the Tathagata made the Great Renunciation: in other days he also renounced the white parasol of royalty, and did the same.” And he told a story of the past.
