Haliddirāga Jātaka (No. 435)
The story is very similar to that of the
Culla-Nārada Jātaka. The girl tried
to seduce the young ascetic when his father was away and take him back with her
to the haunts of men, but he told her to go on, saying that he would follow
after taking leave of his father. When the latter heard his story and learnt his
intention, he exhorted the youth not to be ensnared by thoughts of lust. His son
realized his folly and remained in the hermitage. J. iii.524-6.
