The Kacchapa Jataka is a humorous and risqué story, and one that has likely never been translated into English before. While it pokes fun at Rhesus Macaques and greedy Brahmanas, it also highlights the Bodhisattva's equanimity. The story is translated with light-hearted ribald elements, keeping the intended style of the original, which surely caused hilarity at religious gatherings.
