Details

At the time when the Deer, having eaten and eaten food in the jungle, was going, he met with a Crow. The Crow said, “Friend, you are in health, as though without any want of food or water. For us there is not a drop of water for bathing or drinking. Anē! Merit will be attained.1 Please tell me also the place where you drink water.” Thereupon he told the Crow the path to the rock-hole in which there is water. At the time when the two are coming thus and drinking the water, the Woodpecker met them. “Friends, where do you drink water? Merit will be attained; tell me also,” the Woodpecker said. Afterwards they told the Woodpecker the path.
