Mahajati: The Royal Versionor The Great Birth of Lord Buddha
Jujaka Chapter
( Upon completing his discourse on Entering The forest a Chapter of The Great Birth (or Mahajati),The Lord Buddha proceeded to The Jujaka Chapter )
1 O Ye Bhikkhus, in days long past, in The Kingdom of Kalinga, there lived a Brahmin in the village of Dunnavittha,Jujaka by name, who earned his living by begging for alms in village. Hrahmin Jjaka then set out to seek his fortune. During his long absence, the family spent all his money and felt troubled. When Jujaka returned and asked for his money, the feckless Brahmin family, distressed at not being able to pay their debt, gave Jujaka their daughter, named Amittada, to be his wife.
2 Jujaka thus brought his wife Amittada to his native Brahmin village Dunnavittha, and there they dwelt. Young Amittada proved to be a sweet and faithful wife, never failing to take good care of the household, never minding hard work nor light chores. Ever was she faithful to her husband. So well tended by his wife at all times was Jujaka the Brahmin!
3 Witnessing Amittada"s good manners, loyalty and the tender loving care she showed towards her aged husband as if he were her teacher and master, some young Brahmins reproached their own wives. " Do you not see how respectfully and attentively Amittada treats her aged husband, while you neglect to look after your own? they humiliated their wives with abuse and curses until the women resolved to drive Amittada out of their village, in the hope that she would leave old Jujaka and take in his place a younger man.
