Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesOnce, during the Kattika Festival in Benares, the wife of a poor man insisted on having a pair of garments dyed with safflower to wear at the festival. Urged by her desire, the husband stole at night into the kings conservatories to get the safflowers.
He was caught by the guard and impaled alive. He died lamenting the non fulfilment of his wifes desire and was born in hell. The Bodhisatta was, at that time, a Spirit of the Air.
The story was told to a passion tossed monk who longed for the wife of his lay life. The couple are identified with that of the story. J.i.149f.
