The Great Horseman

Mahāassārohajātaka

“Thy gifts bestowed”—This story the Master told while dwelling at Jetavana, about the Elder Ananda. The circumstances that suggested the story have been already given. “In former days too,” the Master said, “wise men acted on the principle that one good turn deserves another.” And hereupon he told them a story of the olden time.
