|text=This Jataka tale tells the story of Ke and her husband, who owned only a single cloth between them. When a monk invites them to hear the Buddha teach, Ke makes the extraordinary decision to donate their only possession. The Buddha recognizes this as the most precious offering, declaring that true generosity means giving all one has. The tale illustrates how Ke's selfless act brings not only material rewards but spiritual transformation, as she becomes a revered Buddhist nun whose wisdom attracts students from far and wide. The story teaches that the greatest spiritual gift is an open heart willing to give without reservation. | |text=This Jataka tale tells the story of Ke and her husband, who owned only a single cloth between them.
