AN.IV.68 | Devadatta Sutta | The fame and fortune which Devadatta had managed to accrue by his evil deeds would eventually be at his own expense -- just as: 1. a banana tree's bearing fruit is an omen of its own death; 2. the appearance of shoots on a bamboo cane is an omen of its own death; 3. the appearance of flowers on an 'or' tree are an omen of the tree's own death, and; 4. a male foal (ma asadorn) is the omen of its own mother's death. | 35/218 | Catukanipaata Dutiya Pa.n.naasaka | A"nguttara | A.ii. |
