The Woodpecker Named Eatbulb

Kandagalakajātaka

“O friend”—This was told by the Master, during a stay in Veluvana, about Devadatta’s attempts to imitate him. When he heard of these attempts to imitate him, the Master said, “This is not the first time Devadatta has destroyed himself by imitating me; the same thing happened before.” Then he told this story.
