tranquillitate Bodisatta. Accidit quondam ut ex aqua Testudo egressa
somnum ore aperto captaret, in sole apricans. Quam cum vidisset Simius
ille impudens, nec mora, pene in os inserto incepit futuere. Continuo
Testudo experrecta os velut cistellam conclusit dentibusque comprendit
id quod incertum erat. Simius cum nequiret nimium dolorem mulcere 'quo
eam,' inquit, 'cui persuadeam ut hoc dolore me liberet?' Fore ut
liberaretur ratus si ad Bodisattam pervenisset, Testudine ambabus
manibus sublata ad Bodisattam pergit: qui ludos fecit Simium versibus
his: [360]

Bodisattae dicta salute, se in fugam dedit, neque umquam postea eum
locum ne oculis quidem usurpavit. Testudo quoque cum salutem dixisset
abiit, at Bodisatta, defixo in contemplatione perpetua animo, tandem
in eum locum, cuius dominus Brahma deus, pervenit.

means 'belonging to the Tortoise clan' (for which sec e.g. Muir,
Sanskrit Texts, i. 438). The scholiast's note is: "The Tortoises are
of the Kassapa clan, monkeys of the Koṇḍañña" = Skr.
Kauṇḍinya, "between which two clans there is intermarriage
(āvāhavivāhasambandho); now that it is consummated, let
go."
