Now at that time the venerable Pilindava#kha had a mountain cave at Ragagaha cleared out, with the object of making it into a cave dwelling-place. And the Magadha king Seniya Bimbis4ra went to the place where the venerable Pilindavakéha was ; and when he had come there, he saluted the venerable Pilindava&éha, and took his seat on one side. And when he was so seated the Magadha king Seniya Bimbisdéra said to the venerable Pilindavakkha, ‘What is it that my Lord, the Thera, is having done ?’ ‘I am having a cave cleared out, with the object of making it into a cave dwelling-place.’ ‘Do you then, Sir, require an 4ramika (a parkkeeper) ?’ ‘Not so, great king!

VI, 15,2. ‘Very well, O King!’ said the venerable Pilindavakkha in assent to the Magadha king Seniya Bimbisara. 2. Then the venerable Pilindavakéha taught and incited and roused and gladdened the M4gadha king Seniya Bimbis4ra with religious discourse. And the M4gadha king Seniya Bimbisdra, when he had been taught &c. by the religious discourse, rose from his seat, and bowed down before the venerable Pilindava#&Aa, and passing round him with his right side towards him, departed thence. Then the venerable Pilindavaéha sent a message to the Blessed One, saying, ‘Lord! the MAgadha king Seniya Bimbisdra desires to present me with a park-keeper. What am I, therefore, Lord, to do?’ Then the Blessed One, in that connection, after delivering a religious discourse, said to the Bhikkhus: ‘I allow you, O Bhikkhus, the accepting of a parkkeeper.’ 3. And a second time the M4gadha king Seniya Bimbiséra went to the place where the venerable Pilindavakéha was; and when he had come there he saluted the venerable Pilindava#éfa, and took his seat on one side. And when he was so seated the M4gadha king Seniya Bimbisdéra said to the venerable Pilindavakkha, ‘Has the Blessed One allowed a parkkeeper ?’ ‘Yes, O King!’ ‘Then, Sir, I will present a park-keeper to you.’ Now the M4gadha king Seniya Bimbisdra, after he had (thus) promised a park-keeper to the venerable Pilindavaééha, forgot it. And after a time he VI, 15, 5 ON MEDICAMENTS, 63 recovered recollection of it, and addressed a certain minister who had charge of general affairs, and said : ‘The park-keeper whom I promised to the venerable one, has he been given to him ?’ ‘No, your Majesty!’ ‘How long is it then, good Sir, since that was determined ?’ 4. Then that minister, counting up the nights, said to the M4gadha king Seniya Bimbis4ra, ‘ Five hundred nights, your Majesty.’ ‘Give then, my good Sir, five hundred parkkeepers to the venerable one!’ ‘As your Majesty commands,’ said that minister in assent to the Magadha king Seniya Bimbisdra ; and he gave over to the venerable Pilindavakkha five hundred park-keepers, and (for their use) a distinct village grew up. And they called it ArAmika-géma, and they called it also Pilinda-gama. Thenceforward the venerable Pilindavakkha depended upon the families living in that village (for alms, &c.). And the venerable Pilindavakkha robed himself early in the morning, and entered into Pilinda-gama, duly bowled and robed for alms. 5. Now at that time there was a feast in that village, and the children were celebrating it, with their ornaments on, and decked with garlands. And the venerable Pilindavaéé/a, when he was going his rounds for alms, straight on from house to house, came to the dwelling-place of a certain park-keeper ; and when he had come there he sat down on a seat prepared for him.

Then the venerable Pilindavaééha took a grass chumbat!, and said to the park-keeper’s wife: ‘Bind, I pray you, this grass chumbat round the child’s head.’ And the park-keeper’s wife took the grass chumbat, and bound it round the girl’s head. And that became a chaplet of gold, beautiful, lovely, and pleasing, such that there was no chaplet of gold in the king’s seraglio like it. And people told the Magadha king Seniya Bimbisfra, ‘ There is a chaplet of gold, your Majesty, in the house of such and such a park-keeper, such that there is no chaplet of gold in the king’s seraglio like it. How could he, poor as he is, have got (such a thing)? For a certainty he must have procured it by theft.’ Then the M4gadha king Seniya Bimbiséra had (the whole of) that park-keeper’s family thrown into bonds. 7. Now the venerable Pilindavaééha robed himself again early in the morning, and went, duly bowled and robed, into Pilinda-gama for alms. And going his round for alms straight on from house to house he came to the dwelling-place of that park-keeper ; and 1 A circular roll of grass, or cloth, to be placed on the head when a pot of oil or water was being carried on the head.

And the M4gadha king Seniya Bimbiséra went to the place where the venerable Pilindavaéé#a was; and when he had come there, he bowed down before the venerable Pilindava#éha, and took his seat on one side. And when he was so seated the venerable Pilindavakkha said to the Magadha king Seniya Bimbisdra : 8. ‘Why, O King, has the park-keeper’s family been thrown into bonds?’
