ABSTRACT

 1. Formerly when Buddha was residing at Śrâvastî, the king of the country, whose name was Prasenajit, came to the place where Buddha was, and descending from his chariot, approached the Teacher with the deepest reverence, and invited him on the morrow to enter the city and partake of his hospitality, with a view to exhibit to the people the excellency of his person and doctrine, that they might believe on him. 2
