[1078] "Truly, when I was ablaze like a fire sprinkled with ghee, he doused me as if with water, quenching all my anguish. Drawn out indeed is the dart of mine that was lodged in my heart — he who, for me overcome with sorrow, dispelled my grief for a son. I, with the dart drawn out, am free from sorrow, untroubled; I sorrow not, I weep not, having heard you, O Vāsava." The Somadatta Jātaka, the fifth. ___________ 6. The Susīma Jātaka
