beings thus said to that animal, “Ha! animal being! after having 
dragged this animal hither and thither on account of the sdlu, and

is rebuked also in the congregation. But we should meet, and from

He shall punish from among us those that are to be punished. He 
shall reward those that merit to be rewarded. And from the produce

Gautamas ! At the time of Maha Sammata, man was called by this 
name, ‘‘ Animal being.”

(&°q"Sa) at Potala ( 3QF4 Gru-hdsin* the harbour.) He had two 
sons, Gorama and Buarapuwasa (T. rNa-va-chan.) The former took 
the religious character, but Gotama being afterwards accused of the mur- 
der of a harlot, was unjustly impaled at Potala, and the latter succeeded 
to his father. He dying without issue, the two sons of Gorama inherit, 
who were born in a preter-natural manner ; from the circumstances of 
their birth, they and their descendants are called by several names ;
