ON how a father was inconsolable at the death of his son by snakebite; then, the Buddha cures the father of his grief through recitation of Uraga Jataka (the Snake Jataka). ON how a poor farmer (a past incarnation of the Buddha) taught the law of impermanence to his family, and when his son is killed by a snake, the father does not grieve and the rest of the family does not grieve, not because they did not love the dead boy, but because they understood impermanence; the faith of the farmer and his family so impresses the god Sakka that he bestows great wealth upon the farmer and his family.
