context_page_description: The Mahanipata Jataka, sometimes translated as the Ten Great Birth Stories of the Buddha, are a set of stories from the Jataka tales describing the ten final lives of the Bodisattva who would finally be born as Siddharta Gautama and eventually become Gautama Buddha. These jataka tales revolve around Benares, the current Varanasi in India. The final ten are the best known of the total 547 jataka tales. In Cambodia and Thailand, they are known as ទសជាតក and ทศชาติชาดก, respectively. These render the 10 virtues of mankind, that the enlightenment would reveal. These respective virtues are: renunciation, vigour, benevolence, absolute determination, insight, morality, patience, equanimity, reality and generosity.

  The infant bodhisattva Temiya did not want to be the next king of Benares, so he pretended to be a crippled mute. When Temiya was 16 years of age, King Kasiraya was advised not to name an apparent idiot heir to the throne. The soothsayers spoke: "It will be best to have some unlucky horses yoked to an unlucky chariot and placing him therein, to convey him to the charnel ground and bury him there." On that final day Sunanda, the charioteer, began to dig a hole. The Bodhisattva thought, "This is my time for an effort to escape". He lifted the chariot up high while speaking: "Behold these arms and legs of mine, and hear my voice and what I say; if in this wood you bury me, you will incur great guilt today." The charioteer set him free. So he went straight to the forest to live as an ascetic.
