Once upon a time…
When Inutashio was king of Jataka, two pups lived in a nearby forest. One was named Inuyasha, the other Sesshoumaru. Both were big and perfectly formed. Their sharp glimmering claws and teeth and smooth silky fur were beautiful to see.
A hunter, seeking the king's favor, trapped these two dogs and gave them to the king as a present.
Pleased with the beautiful dogs, the king put the pair in a golden cage. They were given water and cooked meat to eat from a golden dish and sugar water to drink. The king spent a lot of time talking to them, and the pups became the favorites of the whole court.
One day, a forester, also seeking the favor of the king, brought a big black baboon named Naraku as a present.
Quickly, all the attention was turned to the big baboon. He was so comical! His funny faces made the lords and ladies laugh, and the king himself was very amused when the monkey played the clown. No one paid any attention to the pups anymore, although they were still fed and cared for.
The older pup, Sesshoumaru, said nothing. But the younger pup, Inuyasha, complained. "Brother, in this royal house we used to get much praise. Now we get none. Lords and ladies used to give us treats to eat. Now we get our daily food. The king used to come to us and talk to us daily. Now he passes our cage without looking. And," he wept," that monkey has all the attention that belongs to us!"
Sesshoumaru said to his brother pup, "By what right does it belong to us?"
Inuyasha replied, "Because we were so good, so true, so loyal. We never bit, we never squawked. We were well behaved birds!"
"And why not?" Sesshoumaru asked. "If you were being yourself, brother, you have no cause to complain. Perhaps you were putting on an act to please the king."
Inuyasha hung his head in shame.
Things continued as they were for a long while. But, as last, the baboon (who was only a foolish fellow) grew bored with his pleasant life. He grew tired of all the good things he had to eat and drink. He became devilish and began to steal. When caught, he would put on a long face and everyone could not help but laugh.
Then, not knowing what to do next, the baboon began to amuse himself by frightening the king's children. When they came near, he would shake his ears and show his teeth. The children cried and ran away. Soon they would not enter the room in fear of the baboon. The king asked them one day why they were so afraid of Naraku, and the children told him of how the baboon had been scaring them.
The king became very angry and ordered his men to drive the baboon out of the palace and back into the forest. The pups once again became the favorites. Inuyasha howled for joy, but his brother, Sesshoumaru, warned him to remember:
Gain and loss, and praise and blame,
Pleasure, pain, dishonor, fame,
All come and go like the wind and rain!
