The chronicle of the five Buddhas including Kukkusando, Gonagamano, Kassapo, Gautama and Ariya Mettaiyo. Once upon a time, a while crow nested on a banyan tree at the bank of Ganga. She had five eggs of the five Bodhisattas. While she was away for long, a heave stomp made the tree collapsed. The five eggs had fallen into the river and separated. Later, first egg was taken care by a hen; second egg was taken care by a Naga; third egg was taken care by a turtle; fourth egg was taken care by a cow; and fifth egg was taken care by a lion.
