The Crocodile

Susumārajātaka

“Rose-apple, jack fruit”—This story the Master told at Jetavana, about Devadatta’s attempts to murder him. When he heard of these attempts, the Master said, This is not the first time that Devadatta has tried to murder me; he did the same before, and yet could not so much as make me afraid.” Then he told this story.
