As Kayoko Nagao (長尾佳代子) points out in her recent paper, "the Spider-web," a shortstory by Paul Carus (1852_1919), is based on an episode that is repeated in such collections ofBuddhist narratives as the Avadanasataka and the Divyavadana This old episode consists of four parts: 1, Light from Buddha reaches Hell; 2, Inhabitants ofHell, bathed in Buddha's light, are cheered; 3, Buddha sends his proxy to Hell; and 4, Those inhabitantsthere receave the opportunity for deliverance.In the story of Carus, a spider is a proxy of Buddha, and an inhabitant of Hell by the name ofKandata starts climbing the spiderweb. Following the traditional story line, Carus makes his storyin which the spiderweb breaks, causing Kandata to fall back into Hell because he has not followedBuddha's teaching.
