hirn to ask them to come in. He then spoke to them in praise of the 

 solitary life, pronouncing Stanzas 328-330, at the conclusion of which 

 all were established in Arahatship. Ananda announced the request of 

 Anathapindika and the others, and Buddha bade the monks take bowl 

 and robe and set out. (60-62) 



Parileyyaka went and stood cross- wise on the road. The Teacher, 

 knowing that he wished to give alms to the monks, ordered them to 

 wait. The elephant went into the forest, gathered a great quantity of 

 fruit, and presented it to the monks. When they had finished eating, 

 Buddha took bowl and robe and set out. The elephant again went 

 and stood cross- wise on the road. Buddha, knowing that he wished to 

 hinder his departure, reproved him. The elephant thrust his trunk in 

 his mouth and retreated weeping. When they reached the village, 

 Buddha ordered the elephant to go no farther. As Buddha passed out 

 of sight the elephant's heart broke, and he died ; but because of his 

 faith in the Teacher he was reborn in the world of the Thirty-three.

When the Teacher arrived at Savatthi, the monks of Kosambi went 

 thither to beg his pardon. The king of Kosala and Anathapindika 

 threatened to keep them out, but were dissuaded from so doing. Bud- 

 dha humiliated the quarrelsome monks by assigning them places sepa- 

 rate from the others ; and when they threw themselves at his feet and 

 begged for pardon, he reproved them for their sinful conduct, related 

 the story of Brahmadatta, Dlghati, and Dighavu 20 once more, and 

 pronounced Stanza 6, at the conclusion of which the assembled monks 

 were established in the Fruits. (63-5)

 oldest respectively, drove a caravan, and Majjhima Kala sold the wares. 

 One day the caravan halted between Savatthi and Jetavana, and 

 Maha Kala, leaving the wagons in charge of Cula Kala, went and 

 listened to the Teacher. He was so affected by the discourse that he 

 resolved to become a monk, turned over his property to Cula Kala, 

 and in spite of the latter 's protests carried out his resolution. Ciila
