Turn mud into two, the Bodhisattva went up, it was a big fish, blackened with mud, like a box made of ebony core. Bodhisattva like pearl eye opening is washed, looked up to heaven, and said to Pajjuna king of the gods:
- Hey you Pajjuna, we suffer because our relatives. When I, a master morality was grief, how can you not do it rains? For I, though born in a carnivorous species have her children, from the very beginning is the small fish, I would never eat a fish of a grain of rice, also never won a life of another living creature. With this truth, make rain and liberate our people out of their misery!
After saying that, as ordered housemaids servant, Bodhisattva told Pajjuna king gods, this verse:

And they assured the king, then the same back home. In addition to the city, they dig holes and collect sacrificial animals both above four feet, perfect breeding spot, blameless illness and countless birds. But they still see missing too many things, so you can access to the palace requires another form of debt forever. At the time, but do not escape the eye of Queen Mallika, she went to the Emperor and asked what caused the Brahmin king forever just to see that.

Thus, venerable sir, I already dreamed these dreams mean how?

But later, at the time kings avarice, injustice, when people do not follow the Dharma, topsy-turvy world, the charity of decline, and evil at the same time growth. In those days the world was ruined, there will be no rain falling from the sky, the wind does not blow, the crops withered grass, famine emerged on Earth. Then clouds will pull from the corner as if the sky was going to rain, makes people rush, first brought things into the grain, crops that women were exposed to the sun, the fear wet. Then the men brought shovels, baskets ... go embankment. Sky like rain to sign, rumbling thunder, lightning flashes tear shining clouds, but also the other herds in the dream do not fight, then the clouds will melt and rain never came.

During her future, the avarice underhanded kings no deference to elders wise, ancient and legal savvy, design-sufficient cunning, a calf, so he could not be appointed to courtrooms even the smart erudite judge king law allows countries. Not only that, they respected kings who was too young and foolish appoint them to the court presiding officers. These guys just ignorant of the government, has poor can not apply the knowledge and practice, it is not enough to bear responsibility for their greatness or people treat the water, which will make the country the precepts witty due to lack of capacity talented. Thus the elders wise elders there, though the full talents of all obstacles to cope with hardships, still clearly remember that they have abandoned How then, should be refused to assist and said " This is not our work, we are outsiders, let the kids fend internally ". Since then, he stood apart, and the decline will siege the other kings crowd from all sides. Sex is like winning wire tie into herds bring the sled is not heavy enough, not forced to pull carts beefy cows from the past, they have the ability to make is to admit it. However, the Great King had nothing to fear. Tell the dream to go Thursday.

This rabble is a foolish men, contempt of goodness, will receive bribe money from both parties while they bench trial, we will take with a bag stuffed full of corruption are two sides to this, such What other grazing horses mouth at once both.

Then the vicious cycle assessment department impoverished nation have been trying to design a living by taking refuge in the wealthy crowd up, and brought her daughter to be married to them.

- This dream did not come true until the future, when the crowd was full of desire woman chasing the men and alcohol concentrations, pearls, gold and silver jewelry, trudged across the paths of life merry Earth. In dissolute spendthrift lifestyle there, we also drunk the alcohol concentration of lovers with us, we just flaunt everything garland, shiny wax fragrant truth, no longer interested in homecraft though urgent where to go again, we just wait for them all day mistress, looked through the slits high up around the outside walls; they brought out sowing rice seeds intended to retire as powder days, in order to delight dissipated.

However, the Great King had nothing to fear. Tell the dream of the Great King went eighth.
8. - Buddha, looks like I do my show at the royal subjects have a big jar full of water make the mouth, in between some empty vessel. Then there are four lines from the four people including four castes (Sat-sole-ly, Brahmin, Ve-amnesty, Prime-momentum), constantly carry water in clay pots to pour into large jars other , swamping emptied out. However, they still poured water on spilled always did, that there is someone glance at the average eye to bare all. That's the dream I do my eighth. Please tell me if something just happen?
- This dream did not come true until the future. Then the world will decline, the kingdom became exhausted, impoverished kings and living habits will avarice, the richest man in the crowd kings can not have more than one hundred thousand coins in stock. While each district, we arrested all the people of this prince tried to work for them; therefore, to serve the king, the people cast off their own work, to sow grains, beans, custodians reap, pounding beats and put into the treasury; to serve the king, the people must sugarcane as sugar, cooking honey; to serve the king, the people have left the garden flower gardening, and harvest crops. When harvesting a variety of products, we provide full on the hoards of kings to spread, which is like poured the jar was full and did not care about the empty bottle. However, the Great King had nothing to fear because he at all. Tell me hear ninth dream.

What will happen from the sign of him?
- This dream come true only in the future. At that time becomes unjust kings, and ruled according to their own preferences, should not in justice court. We crave this kingly gold and increased the bribes, they do not show mercy to love his people, but cruelty of wealth plundered by them surface trampling and crushing me like taxing people to the point where no more coin pocket. Since we can not afford any tax collection burden on the back, around the urban population will flee villages, sought refuge in the border area of ​​the country at the center of the country becomes wilderness, while dense border area population. Sex is like muddy water holding tank, and the limpid lake. However, the Great King had nothing to fear anything that was even, I hear tell the tenth dream.
10. - Buddha, looks like I do my show in a pot boiling rice without mixing them. Because not stir, so the rice pot is split out like three distinct parts cook in three phases: the pasty nhẹt section, then brusquely parts, portions, cooked really delicious! It is the station's tenth dream. What will happen from the sign of him?
- This dream did not come true until the future. At that time kings injustice, people under underhanded also become, the Brahmin, homeowners, citizens, farmers as well; yes, people are into the underhanded all, even the Brahmin wise. Next, there are upholding their gods, the gods they sacrifice civilians, such as tree spirits, gods in space, also became underhanded always, even if the wind blows through the state of marriage this military becomes hurricane chaos, rocked the temple of Heaven, which makes gods out of anger, not for the rain falling; or as if the rain day, he would fall all over the country the same time, there was also a large thunderstorm rains are good irrigation on lands to till seeding to help people in need are vicious attacks. Thus, in a vast country, in every village, lake, pond, rain falling at the same time in the same range; if rain in the upper part, it did not rain in the lower part, where the crop was badly damaged due to hydrocephalus, arid the other places because of the drought, more prosperous place thanks to good weather the storm steadily. The crop is in the same national level - such as the rice in a pot - will not be the same. However, the Great King has nothing to fear because it all. Tell tenth dream I heard a go.
11. - Buddha, looks like I do my show fresh butter timber will be taken in exchange for chien- Forum (frankincense) quarter worth a hundred thousand coins. It is the eleventh dream. Is there something going on from that reasonable?
- This dream did not come true so far future, the day that my dharma decay. At that time, many monks very precious heartless greed appears, rice and clothing pieces just because they preach the Dhamma I have spread in order to eradicate lust! Do we abandon the Church because of avaricious body and now rank heresy of them, they can not preach the Dhamma leads to Nirvana. No, they're just thinking, while teaching, how to use enough flowery words and sweet voice to seduce the masses give them food, expensive clothes and things like that and just specialized nursing care benefit offerings. There are those who sit in the avenue, corner, crouched superb goal ... teaching for the money, because of the large and small coins. And while they sold cheap Dhamma leads to Nirvana invaluable in exchange for food, clothes, gold and silver, they have nothing else who bartered sheep-herd timber worth hundreds of thousands of fresh butter to get the other stuff ? However, the Great King had nothing to fear sex at all, tell twelfth dream for me to hear.
12. - Buddha on, I found the secret vote hollow wire back under. So what happens reasonable?
- This dream did not come true until the future with unjust kings, crazy world. At that time kings do not appreciate the aristocratic but inferior preferential us, so we will be the lord of the ruling elite while aristocratic crowd to be sinking into poverty. Also in place of the court, in providing technical, in the hall or the court's only four words inferior - which firmly established, as the country could sink bottom. Even in the quarterfinals of the offerings: food clothes, couch, medicinal ... well, just opinions fitness wicked, decadent is considered right to dispose of and not the opinion of the monks know where sufficient sexual minorities. Something like that everywhere is like the scene back wire submerged hollow gourd. However, the Great King has nothing to fear about it all. Tell thirteenth dream for me to hear.
13. - Then the king said:
- Buddha, looks like I do my shows large boulders in the house, again floated like boats on the water. So what will happen reasonable?
- This dream did not come true so far as I have said future on. In those days, kings unfair advantage of the lower class crowd, they will become the powerful lord of noble folks at poverty decline. People no longer revered aristocrat, but a new cult of wealthy men only. At King fell Dynasty, in the meeting room privy, or in place legal, word of the nobility law expertise - the very characteristics that have large classes who symbolizes this - floating adrift again, not about deep into our mind. When they spoke, the men of this emerging bourgeois scornful laugh, said to each other: "The other name What are you saying?". Likewise, in the congregation of monks, as mentioned earlier, it is not to respect the supreme rank among recluses row, so word of this location is not deposited, but only drift that go lost, as if the boulders floated on the water. However, the Great King has nothing to be afraid of sex at all. Tell us listen to the fourteenth dream for me to hear.
14. - Buddha, I do my apparently did not see the bigger frog catches tiny petals withered, the agile hunters giant snakes, snapping them off pieces such as the lotus and devoured them a while to complete. What will happen reasonable?
- This dream did not come true until the future, what I have said before, the world's decay. Then the four men craving emerged too intense, too passionate desire to the point they become slaves to them concubine young children in the house, the servants, workers, cattle, pigs and chickens, gold and silver, until everything else is depending crowd disposition concubines. Assuming the other miserable husband asked if money, clothes to where consecutive meeting where it shelves it, he had to worry about me, do not ask any questions about what frumpy house "his wife I "at all! Then by all means, we use words other concubines husband as swarms of slaves, servants, so just like the flood of counterfeit sharp, not greater than the tiny flowers, cobra swallowed again! But he had nothing to worry about there. I hear tell fifteenth dream.
15. - Buddha, looks like I do my country saw a crow, a full ten-virtue, to be a full entourage of escort bird, the birds-yellow coat color, often dubbed Kim nga regal. What will happen reasonable?
- This dream, Sire, nor achievements to date and future, the era monarchs recession. It is time the king appeared not know anything about martial arts, elephants, horses, and the cowardice as a substitute, for fear of being deposed, or expelled from the kingdom, so we put the four bodyguards, almost bath, haircut, like that came to power instead of putting up the noble group. Thus, this crowd does not favor the king buds enjoy the water, not enough to support himself, had to endure almost condescending flanking the wealthy men, like ravens are cloud Kim nga royal servant. However, the Great King has nothing to fear about it all. Tell sixteenth dream for me.
16. - Until now, the main species hunted chamois aggressive, but it looks like I do my dream chamois hunting tigers and tear vegetables vegetables. While just saw the ball far goats from wolves herd panicked and immediately fled into the bush to hide herself. It is the dream of the station. What will happen reasonable?
- This dream, Sire, also failed to materialize so far future, when any intelligent kings ruled. At that time, they were inferior ruling elite held so much grace and regal, aristocratic crowd while impoverished desert into darkness. Since there are many forces in the court of the king by grace, we new this wealth requires deprived ownership of the land, clothes, and all the assets of the ancestors of the ancient aristocratic crowd. When these guys trying to defend their rights before the courts, but were bunch of kings confidential valet retrieve sticks beaten, thrown out shareholder with vulgar words, something like: "Is there spirits , the other foolish men! Why? you want to fight with us? the king will know the rude of you, then we will send you chop off limbs and appropriately punished both flood! ". Then noble folks appalled to realize that their property has become the property of the new folks too harsh dominate the other, to ask newly grace we take their property. Then they rushed home to shirk in fear anxiety. Likewise, the evil monks terrorist spoiled, destroy friendly gentle monks, deserved, until the people who can not see further protect themselves, had to flee into the forest. Such oppression and friendly congregation nobles, monks are like wolves goats were threatened.
However, he has nothing to be afraid of sex at all. Because this dream is just related to the future only. Thus, not because the truth or love of the Great King made the Brahmin predict how they told where the Great King. It just wants avaricious greed, the knowledge is nourished by greed made them utter those words bring boon for his part only.
Thus the Master had taught the meaning of the sixteen big dream is finished, and he added:
- Hey Great King, he was not the first to dream like that; the old days, kings used to dream dreams saw this, and as well as now, the Brahmin found this cause to celebrate Mass the altar; For this, at the request of the gentle and friendly place, the Bodhisattva has been consulted, and the dream was the wise old site explaining exactly like how they are explaining now.
Said this is done, according to the king's request, he told a story of the past.
*

- Of course, yes. But first, tell me the dream of the Great King.
- Bach Venerable, I now ready, and began to tell the king replied as follows:
Before bulls, seedlings,
then cows, calves,
horses, gold bowl, painted cranes,
Water, a shower in,
Rice live, you herd sheep,
Gourd pumpkin diving down the line,
to the floating stones,
sharp Counterfeit , bullfrog same
flock Shred cobra,
Crow has entourage
As beautiful Russian royal herd,
wolf, mountain goats fear!
And then the king after the king Pasenadi like dreams (Persian-anonymously) aforementioned.
Great Career Si said:
- That's enough, the Great King there is nothing to fear about it all.
After reassuring the King finished and released the other creatures crowd from detention, the bodhisattva associated air cylinder, extension Catholic kings, and kings to the five precepts reside and concludes with these words:
- O Lord, from now on Great King not to collaborate with the Brahmin to kill animals and herd health.
After the lecture finished, Bodhisattva traveled through space to return to his shelter. And the king, serving prime teachings were heard, specializing in giving life, and to do many other good merits and when the public network to follow his career.

Upon termination of these talks, the Master said:
- Great king nothing to be afraid of his dreams at all. So let's cancel the altar away.
After the king to cancel the international protection and rescue countless herd creatures, he combined the two stories and identify precursor:
- At that time the king Ananda, Sariputta is young Brahmin and I was the hermit did.

He lame, cross-eyed back and wasting. He had no confidence, never miserly one, not himself lived; His house was like a demon La-close lake occupied. However, over seven generations ago, the ancestors of the people he is giving, very generous benefactors. When millionaire status, he was destructive of family tradition, alms houses burned, drove the beggar, and asset accumulation.
One day the king went adoration. he returned to his house, the millionaire farmer saw a tiring journey, holding a bottle of wine, sit on a chair, filling cup sour wine, wine closed with a stinky dried fish pieces. Seeing this, he started to drink, but the desire to think: "If I drink, many people will want to drink with me. So I will wear properties." So he tame thirst, to and fro; but while walking, can not suppress hunger, he became jaundice as rice and cotton emerged blood vessels on his frail body. Finally, he entered the room, lying huddled on the bed. His wife came, rubbing his back and asked:
- Hey you, what makes you so uncomfortable? (Details are like the story mentioned above).
- So I cooked enough for his wine he drank.
When they heard that, the millionaire said:
- At home, many people are waiting for winemaking. Also bring wine from the bar and sat drinking here is impossible.

He poured a cup of wine and started drinking.
His father before birth due to the merit of such generosity ... was born as God all Sakka. In the meantime, his father wanted to know your alms may be continued or not, and to know, son, not to continue his career ended the family tradition, giving the school burned, beaten chase the beggars, miserly mood, now afraid to have people to drink secretly went into the grove to drink alone. Seeing this, Sakka decided: "I will make it touched, it taught me to help him know the relationship between actions and outcomes, make it known to give, making it the benevolent value on earth worth living. "
Then God's all down to the human realm, Illisa millionaire turned out, also crippled, also wasting his back, also not unlike Illisa cross-eyed. With such shapes, he goes to Rajgir, standing in front of the palace, the king said confidently tell her to. When invited to, he bowed to the king and stand almost next. The king asked:
- What brought the last General millionaire so early?
- Dear God and death, I come here to my house and said the property has eight hundred million coins. Please cast your God brought death filled his coffers.
- Well, just then, modern millionaire! In our supply are more assets than his wealth!
- Dear God and death, if he does not, I'll take that fortune giving my liking.

- Ladies and yes, God and death.
After the king bowed, went out, Sakka (ie his father) turned to go home a millionaire types Illisa. All entourage servant came around. No one can know this is not Illisa. Sakka stood in the doorway to the house, to call the doorman and said:
- If there is one who is like me coming here claiming to be the owner of this house, take sticks chased it away.
After saying this, Sakka went up stairs, sitting on security is very gorgeous, and the millionaire's wife to call. With a smile, he said:
- Woman, we will give alms.
Heard so, millionaire wife, son, daughter, the housemaids who do are thinking: "A long time ago, I do not mind all thought of giving. Now probably after drinking, dizziness say he was born desire alms ".
So millionaire wife said:
- Sir, please give alms according to your preferences.
- So let drummers to call, tell him to go drumming throughout the city and cry out: Who needs gold, silver, jewels, pearls etc .. please go to the millionaire Illisa.
The wife did as instructed. A crowd of people carrying baskets and bags ... gathered at the door of the millionaire. Sakka to open the jewel room and said:

Property masses brought out, piled between floors, filled the basket they brought pots and take them away. One other farmer's cows Illisa column in your neck of a millionaire car, filled the car with seven treasures, from the wall. While going on a major road, he drove to near the grove, and praised millionaire Illisa as follows:

Him walking and praising the virtues of millionaire status. Millionaires (truth) heard so startled, scared, thinking: "Why this person to repeat the words of my name in it? Or the King has given our property for the masses, then?".
He jumped out of the bush, get out the car and his cows, and they took the bull nose wire, and lead him away and said:
- Oh, the other slaves, this is my cow, this is our carriage. Farmers get off saying:
- Oh! map evil bastard, millionaire Illisa give to the whole city. Who are you?

Farmers back into the car, grabbed the hair, Bushy breaking him down, grab his elbow hit, holding his toss toward the road he went to, and left. When sober since her brutal beatings, the millionaires tremble with anger, went quickly to the door of the house and saw people carrying property shambled away, he said:

He went to grab this person, the other person, and those who were immediately hit he took his feet collapsed. Spectacular in pain, he went to the Invisibility. The doorman saw him and cried:

First of all, he took his bamboo stick, then dragged him out holding the door. Millionaires who think: "Now, apart from the king, who does not have a shelter to do it." He went to the king and said:
- Dear God and death, he has appropriated the right of me? This millionaire, do not hijack! Does he have to come here and say, if he does not get, and I will bring my property alms? Does he have to beat the drums throughout the whole city, that he would give alms Ad?
- Dear God and death, not because I came here to meet him that. He did not know my computer so miserly? I do not think anyone, even a drop of oil taken from the tips of the grass! Who was giving my property, let's call it coming and interrogating it, said Thien-mail.
Sakka summoned to the king, the difference between these two men, both kings and lords are unknowable. Area miserly millionaire said:
- Dear God Prince, who's not a millionaire. I'd be a millionaire.
- We do not know who the real millionaire! Who could know them?
- Dear God death, my wife.
The king called his wife to come and ask:
- Any person who is your husband?
The wife said:
- This person, and she stood near Sakka.

In that moment, Sakka make a mole on his head emerged. Bodhisattva two heads looked up, saw the two moles, began to say:

- Sire, we are not Illisa, I am Sakka.
Then he flew up, stand out of nowhere, with all supernatural power. It washcloths for Illisa and sprinkled over him. Illisa revive stood up, bowed and stood aside Thien owners. Sakka said:
- Hey Illisa property is mine, not yours. I am your father. You are my son. Lifetime asks merit such as the published thi.vv .. should be born as Sakka. You've cut off my tradition, not giving, not morality, dwell on avarice, almsgiving field burning, expel beggars, lo asset accumulation. You did not lived assets. Others do not enjoy.

If you do not, I will make disappear all of your assets, smash your head with diamond mace Inda and end your life.

One day the Bodhisattva thought: "We have a lot of him, do not know that I had been the kingdom of heritage in this city or not? If asked Ðộc Buddhas Enlightenment, I will know."
The next day, when the unicorn to Buddha, Bodhisattvas bring thermos, filtered water he washed their feet and dry. Eating, when he was sitting, Bodhisattva bowed, sat to one side and asked her problems. The Pratyekabuddhas answered:
- Hey Prince, he will not be the kingdom in this city. From about two thousand miles away, in the country of Gandhara, there is a town called Takkasila. If the prince can go there for seven days, he will be the kingdom. But there are dangers on the road to it, if the direct path fifty miles long, he had to cross the great forest. By going within same forest, the long road to a hundred miles. It is the desolate forests there in inhuman. The distance between the forest, the female Yakshis houses erected. Under the remnants have adorned with sparkling gold stars, they presented a large bed, precious, surrounded by beautiful drapery, with many wonderful colors. They are adorned with jewelry Devas and sat in the house. When the men had come to, they tempt, topped with sweet words. The man looked tired, come here, sit down, drink water and go! For those who go there, the women were invited to sit deleted, as they set up greed with its beautiful beauty, leaving them craving been dominant. When they reach their acts, even then, the women eat their Yakshis Dripping with blood, their lives ended. Those who are passionate about language, we get music lyrics sweet temptations. Those who are passionate about flavor, natural flavor we get tempted. Those who are passionate about taste, we get the scrumptious dishes tempt the gods. Those passionate emotional, they get beds with mattresses Devas first red two temptations. But if the prince regent for the apartment, determined not to look at them, that goes mindfulness, the seventh day, he will receive the kingdom here.
Bodhisattva said:
- Ladies and venerable, forward the work as such. After receiving advice, the venerable teacher, how can we look at the women that Yakshis?
After thanks to the Buddha to pray unicorn, carrying sand amulets, charms rope making, Bodhisattva bowed Ðộc Buddhas Enlightenment and his parents, and then went home to tell his servant who:
- I am going to take the kingdom Takkasila, you just stay here.
Five applicants were accompanied Bodhisattva, he said:
- You can not walk, the women heard halfway Yakshis identity so that people who take them will use color .. etc .. being pleased that they desire, then catch these people. The big danger, but we have confidence in ourselves and we will go.
- Dear prince, how to go with him, our endearing beauty to look at them? We will go there.
Bodhisattva said:
- So you do not distractions, have determined.
Bodhisattva bring him in, and hit the road. Yakshis women make up villages etc .. and waited.
A person taking them excel in female labor-rubbed look at it, is bound by the beauty of them, should slow down after the Bodhisattva said:
- Why did you come back later?
- Dear Prince, my leg hurts. After a rest at home for a while there, I'll go.
- Hey you, we are female labor-rub, do not be greedy them.
- The fact that this oil, said Prince, I can not walk anymore.
- If so, you'll see things happen how!
Having said so, the Bodhisattva brought four other people go. Greedy person approaching the female identity Yakshis. When he began to practice touch with them, they immediately kill to eat. Then we go forward, create up another house, bring musical variety theater sitting.
There, people craving hours later slowed. The Yakshis carnivorous female who was, and went forward, opened a restaurant bar, fully display the fragrance box and waited. There, enthusiasts slowed flavor. The Yakshis carnivorous female who was, and went forward, opened a shop selling food, plate presentation platter of dishes containing many scrumptious dishes of gods and we waited there. Who crave the taste, when to go there, he slowed down, and then also being eaten. When her only a Bodhisattva, a female Yakshis said:
- The persistence of this oil it is, I will eat it and go back.
Then the woman went back Yakshis Bodhisattva. The workmen employed in other areas of forest in the forest found Yakshis women, asked:
- The man who is ahead of her?
- Dear sir, it was my husband elegant young.
- Hey you, when you have young wife stunningly sharp, beautiful bouquet, delicate like a wreath, spent according to your own families and put their trust in you, why not go with her to her from fatigue ?
- Hey you, it's not my wife. It is women Yakshis have eaten my five friends.
- Oh, dear you, when the man had outraged his own wife, the female also Yakshis, are ghosts!
Female Yakshis he says so and follow the Bodhisattva, when it carries out the formation, when it is the shadow of a woman has a baby, when they carried you inside the armpit. Many people saw it, as well as the form of the previous questions. Bodhisattva answered as before and go to Takkasila. Female Yakshis make children disappear, and alone to follow the Bodhisattva. And Bodhisattva went to the gate and to sit in the dining for the worship. Because the power of the Bodhisattva, female Yakshis not accessible, immediately turned out a woman standing in front of God worship.
At that time, King Takkasila're going to the park. Seeing her, tempted heart king, the king sent someone to ask her husband or not. He came and asked and she answered:
- I married. My husband was sitting in the house for the worship.
Bodhisattva said:
- It's not my wife! It was the women who had eaten Yakshis year my companion.
Female Yakshis said:
- Oh, sir, when a man was indignant, they say all they think about.
He reported back to the king's speech two. King said what does not fall under the authority of the King Home. King called female Yakshis back, let it sit on the back of an elephant, walked around the palace and then return to it at a domestic supply of the queen. After King showered, eaten in the afternoon and then to the dragon ready. Female Yakshis herself proper food to eat themselves, preparing makeup, and lying to the king dragon bed. The night was over, after the king pleasure, sleeping, female labor-rubbed through a side spin and then crying. King asked why she was crying. Female Yakshis answered:
- Sire, postcards are Dai Wang met halfway and bring about supply, but supply much of the Great King concubine. Living here, between the hostile, postcards have been caught holding the immersion, were stunned when they asked her parents are? Lineage or her birth What is life? She just picked up on the street person! If the Great King for postcards authority and power in the kingdom, no one can make business cards with the saying angry like that anymore!
- This bride, had no right to those who are in the kingdom. I am not the lord and master of them. Those who make the king angry or do something wrong, then we are all of them new. For this reason, we can not tell the Bride of authority and power in the kingdom.
- So, Sire, if the Great King can not force a business card across the country or around the city, at least for business cards on the power supply in the cabinet, to business cards can dominate those who live in the palace .
King too captivated by disasters should contact undeniable words Yakshis women, and they accepted.
- You instead, the bride, bride and I will give power to those who live within the palace, as such, their spouse can put under his authority.
Female Yakshis consent, waiting for the king to sleep, went on the Yakshis bringing along Yakshis female union to offer.

Long ago, when Brahmadatta reigned Balaam complaints, Bodhisattva grew up in a family self-health counselor, and after his father died, the Bodhisattva successor positions. Then the queen was king for a wish.
- Hey Queen, she wanted something, please speak up.
The queen said as follows.
- Word of the wishes of business cards is not difficult to make. Henceforth the Great King is not looking at one another with eyes female attachment.
Initially, the king refused, but later, she was pressing repeatedly, can not ignore the words of the queen, the king must accept, and from there onwards, the king never look a certain woman of sixteen thousands of dancers.
Then a rebellion arises in marginal locations. Border troops in the field, after two or three times to fight with the bandits, reporting on the king that they could not pacify it. King wanted to go there, immediately gathered a large troop, to call and speak to the queen.
- This bride, we address the boundary, in that battle all sorts occurs, will lead to victory or defeat. The place was not suitable for female workers. Empress stay here.
The queen said.
- O Lord, a business card can not stay here.
When the king refused several times, the queen said.
- So after each mile traveled, the Great King send someone to inquire about the health of a business card.
The king accepted. Bodhisattva stay in the city, while the king departed with a large army, go on every mile, to send a message about the responsibility that the health of the king and the queen inquired not get peace. When a man goes on, she asked:
- The King has sent you on purpose?
- To ask the queen can not be at peace.
The queen told him to come and live with it illegal. King traveling thirty-two miles, sent about thirty-two people, illegal and queen lived with them all.
After pacify complete, the flask was nationalized, on the way back, the king also sent about thirty-two messengers. The queen also illegal to live with them. Victorious troops stop near the king sent a message Bodhisattva city prepared to welcome him.
Bodhisattva for preparing the city is finished, a new palace to prepare to go to meet the king and queen's supply loss. The queen saw the body of the Bodhisattva gorgeous, could not bear herself well and said:
- Hey Brahmin, please respond to my love.
Bodhisattva said:
- Do not say that! Honor the king. I'm afraid that immoral. I can not do that.
- Sixty-four names were not respected messengers king, was not afraid of evil, that ye kings respected and feared the evil stars?
- Ladies and yes, if they thought they did not do so, but because I know what is right, I will not do this evil thing.
- Do not talk so much nonsense! If you did not follow me, I will make thee beheaded.
- Well, first I cut oil in this life or in a hundred thousand lives, I would not be able to do so.
- Let there, then will know my hand.
Empress threatened Bodhisattva, then went into his room, took fingernail scratch on the body, hand, foot rub oil, dressed in dirty, fake illness and to call the handmaid:
- If the king had asked the queen where the queen replied sick.
Meanwhile Bodhisattva went to meet the king. After walking around the city, the king ascended the palace, did not see the queen, the queen asked where. When the queen replied ill, the king went into the room the queen, the queen back rub and asked:
- Queen sick?
Empress silent. When the king asked the third time, the king and queen looked at said:
- Sire, the Great King was alive today, but as a business card woman should have a husband.
- Ai secretary said anything so strange?
- Great king put economic adviser position themselves to stay keep up, it citing the internal supply remodel, come here, and because it did not follow a business card, it beat postcards for its satisfactory and left.
King angry rumble, like salt and sugar dropped into the fire, thrown away out of rooms. King to call the doorman, the infantrymen arrived, telling them arrested immediately Bodhisattva, arms tied behind her back as people are sentenced to the guillotine, then led out of the city, to the decapitation of the law. They go really fast, arms tied advisers behind and sacrifices for drumming news has executed. Bodhisattva thought: "Thus the king has been poisoned by an evil queen before. Today, we have to save us from this disaster with their health." Therefore, the Bodhisattva said to the soldiers:
- Before you kill me, give me an audience with the king.
- For what?
- Because we are serving the king, has done a lot of work. I know a lot of hidden assets. Our main king farmland management. If we do not meet the king, the more the load will be destroyed. After we said to the king of kings patrimony know, you do your duty.
They put economic advisor to the king himself. King saw he immediately said:
- Hey Brahmin, do not you ashamed of me? Why did you do such evil deeds?
- Sire, I was born in the family Brahmin elite. Until now, I did not kill even an ant. Until now, I do not take what is not given, even a haywire. Until now, I do not look at a woman with the eyes of others attachment, even a so-ogling. Until now, I did not say a lie, though only for fun. I do not drink, not even a drop in Kusa grass. I am completely innocent of the great king. But wicked queen was holding my hand with lustful thoughts, bluntly tell me her secret evil deeds before going into rooms. Before I had sixty-four messengers who come here, to bring the message of the great king sent the queen, who was equally guilty. Call them to come here and ask each of them can do the queen told or not.
King for sixty-four other people call and queen came and asked them to do as the queen was told or not. They confessed to have done. The king was wrong to tie them back and ordered beheaded him all sixty four. At this point, the Bodhisattva said:
- Sire, these people are not guilty! We just follow the queen's preference. They are innocent, so please forgive us! And the queen was not guilty. Lewd nature of the queen is never satisfied, and so was born! The queen only conform their nature alone! Therefore, please forgive the queen.
Thus, in many ways, the Bodhisattva make the king understand that, save lives sixty-four he and foolish queen, and let the king give them the abode to stay. After everyone was freed and given shelter, the Bodhisattva to the king and said:
- O Lord, word of the accusation unfounded and blind fool makes the wise tied to the seat position unworthy, Bushy arm tied behind his back; also location wise words caused fool rid hands were tied behind his back. Thus, the words of fools tied an inappropriate way, and location wise words when freed of bondage.
Said that done, Bodhisattva read this verse:
Where fools say,
They tied the innocent,
wise Somewhere said,
Escape Rescue who were tied.
Thus, the Great Master level with this verse, preach to the king and said:
- I met this suffering is because family life alive. Now what I do not have a job in the family. Please allow me to be ordained.
After being ordained allowed, abandon relatives, abandoning major asset, Bodhisattva predecessors wanderer, living in the Himalaya, achieved successes and Zen place to witness and rebirth realms Brahma .
