[2291] "Having taken up my studies (ajjhenāni), greedy for sensual pleasures, I went about for a long stretch of time, to the harm of others. Whoever is a backbiter (piṭṭhimaṃsika) cuts out and devours flesh in just this way, as today I devour the flesh of my own back." The Kiṃchanda Jātaka, the First. __________ 2. The Kumbha Jātaka
