Vv 7.7 Kanthaka Sutta: Kanthaka’s Mansion | Daily Sutta Reading

I was the dearest horse of Prince Siddhartha, and I was born on the same day as this prince, the son of King Suddhodana.

Daily Sutta Reading
The wooden statue images asceticism of the Bodhisatta Gotama. While Siddhartha Gotama was looking for unsurpassed enlightenment, he tried some hard practices, which are not leading to liberation and is deadly dangerous.

This story is told e.g. in Maha-sihanada Sutta, 12th of Majjhima Nikaya (MN-12). There is also a mention of hermits, who were fed only with cola nuts and cola nuts brew. So Coca-Cola seems like an ascetic nutrition 🙂.
