In [this](http://www.traumaticbraininjury.net/files/2011/07/Diagnostic-and-Statistical-Manual-of-Mental-Disorders-and-the-Buddhist-Jathaka-Stories.pdf) interesting take on Buddhism and modern psychology via the Jataka Tales and the DSM, is this passage: > The Jathka storyteller elegantly portrays the clinical picture of a > monk (in Dummbala Katta Jathakaya) who had fear feelings, flashbacks, > hyperaousal, avoidance and startling reactions. The monk named Marana > Bhiruka Bikku fits in to DSM criteria of PTSD. Can anybody locate the Jataka tale mentioned here? I tried but did not succeed, probably because of variations in transliteration.
