132. When autumn came, and the forest was free of mosquitoes, the sarabha deer entered mountain fastnesses and river sources. 133. Seeing the sarabha deer gone, and the goats also perished; The brahmin became thin and discolored, and afflicted with jaundice. 134.

Many elephants, cattle, and horses are mine, wealth and grain, and the whole earth; These women are like celestial nymphs, see the fruit of a lump of sour gruel. 144. Again and again, O king-elephant, you speak verses, O lord of Kosala; I ask you, O increaser of the realm, you speak with great joy in your mind. 145.

Having gladdened my mind towards them, having seated them on a bed of leaves; I gave the Buddhas a lump of sour gruel, with a joyful heart, with my own hands. 148. Of that wholesome deed, this is such a fruit for me; I enjoy this kingdom, prosperous, the best on earth. 149. Give and enjoy, and do not be heedless. Turn the wheel, O lord of Kosala; Do not be unrighteous, O king, uphold the Dhamma, O lord of Kosala. 150. I shall practice that very path again and again, O beautiful one; The conduct of the noble ones, O good Kosala woman, the Arahants are pleasing for me to see. 151.

Surely that sound reached, surely he told you; Surely it was revealed by him who shook that branch. 159.
