[Roland Steiner]

<italic><color><param>7F00,0000,0000</param>> The term "cooking/cooker of dogs" (not other canines) occurs as [...]


</italic></color>and in Har.sadeva´s Naagaanda (where else? :-)), act IV, stanza 
14 (according to the Nepalese and South Indian version; 15 
according to the Tibetan and Central Indian version):


<color><param>0100,0100,0100</param>vi"svaamitra.h "svamaa.msa.m "svapaca iva puraa-

[How] wonderful that </color>[he, the Bodhisattva Jiimuutavaahana] out 
of pity for the sake of another gives, as if it were straw, that 
very life,<color><param>0100,0100,0100</param>

        for which Vi"svaamitra, l</color>ike a ``cooker of dogs" ("svapaca), 
<color><param>0100,0100,0100</param>once devoured the flesh of a dog,

        for which reason Gautama killed Naa.diija"ngha who had 
done him a favour,

        [and] for which purpose this son of Kaa"syapa, Taark.sya, daily slays snakes.


With kind regards,
