Ksantivadi Jataka

In a previous life, the Buddha was born a saint. He was seated in a grove, and preached to the harem of the King. The King saw them seated around the Saint, listening to him very attentively. The King asked him, “Who are you?” The Saint replied, “I am Ksantivadi Saint”. The King in return said, “you will demonstrate your tolerance to me”. Then, the King severed the limbs of the Saint. The Saint said, “My tolerance is in my heart but not in my limbs”. The King trampled the heart of the Saint with much strength. The Saint died and went to Heaven, and the King to Hell.
