V. 11. Jambuka The Naked Ascetic
Jambukajīvakavatthu
Aung Maung's summary:
A long time ago, a monk insulted an Elder with the 4 kinds of insults and was reborn in the Avici Hell where he suffered extreme torment for the space of an interval between 2 Buddhas. After his extreme torment, he was born in Rajagaha as Jambuka. Jambuka only ate poop, slept on the ground, pulled his hair with a Palmyra comb, and was naked. Because of this, his parents decided to put him in the Order of the Ajivaka but was quickly kicked out. The Buddha surveying the world with His Divine Eye, saw Jambuka so the Teacher went to him and pronounced a stanza which made Jambuka attain Arahantship.
