Cakkavākajātaka

Suttapiṭaka · Khuddakanikāya · Jātaka (1) · Vol. 27 · Section 1277

[1277] In the great waters there are no fruits, O crow (dhaṅka); whence could there be flesh for cakkavākas to eat? We feed on water-moss (sevāla); our food is no breathing creature; (we do no evil even for the sake of food;) fearless, we range about the great waters.
