Translation. — Ferry-man. 



Explanation. — While Buddha was going to Benares, he had to cross the Ganges. The 

 ferry-man asked him to pay ferry-fare. As Buddha had nothing with him, he could not pay 

 the fare and so flew through the sky to arrive at the other side of the river. Astonished at 

 this, the ferry-man went forth to King Bimbisara of Magadha and related to him the 

 miracle performed by Buddha. The King ordered that thenceforth ascetics should not be 

 charged ferry- fare. 3
