Saṅkhapālajātaka

Suttapiṭaka · Khuddakanikāya · Jātaka (1) · Vol. 27 · Section 2510

[2510] Red-eyed you are, and broad-chested, adorned, with hair and beard well-trimmed, well anointed with red sandalwood — like a king of the gandhabbas you shine over the quarters. You have attained divine power (deviddhi), you are of great majesty, fully endowed with all sensual pleasures (kāma). I ask you, O nāga king, this matter: in what way is the human world better than this?
