JĀTAKA BOOK I.—EKANIPĀTA

Jataka Story No. 101

PAROSATA-JĀTAKA.

Far better than a hundred fools, though they
Think hard a hundred years unceasingly,
Is one who, hearing, straightway understands.

This story is in all respects analogous to the Parosahassa-Jātaka (Jataka Story No. 99), with the sole difference that 'think hard' is read here.
