On one occasion, the King of Concubine in the land of Cau Tat La (Kosala) rode the magnificent white elephant Pundarika marching across the city. By the time they were about to disband, the people were thrown wildly around the ground, banging on their hoops, but still looking at their necks. The king was blessed as a result of generosity, moral precepts and merit-making.
On the bottom floor of a seven-story building with the wife of a poor man, open the window to see the king, then retreat. She appeared before the king as the full moon and then into the cloud. Infatuated, the king nearly fell off the back of the elephant. Quickly ending the parade, the king returned to the palace to ask if the trusted officer saw the young woman or not, and ordered the husband. He understood immediately that life was at stake for his wife, but did not dare to disobey. He came to the king, and was confiscated into the servants. He refused, asked to pay the collection but could not.
The king wanted to convict and kill him to take his wife. For him, fearing death, also wholeheartedly served the king. Love fire in the king is increasing. Because he could not find any fault, the king sent him to search for red soil with red and blue water lilies, if he did not bring him back in time he would be guilty of death.
He panicked to go home, his wife water rice. Not promptly waiting for cooked rice, he rushed to scoop up the freshly boiled, scalded rice, add some curry to the basket, and hurriedly set out. When he hurried away like that, the rice was just cooked. He set aside some delicious rice and began to eat. On occasion, he invited guests to eat the portion that was saved. When he finished eating, he threw a handful of rice into the lake, rinsed his mouth and prayed aloud to the dragon spirit for thousands of blessings for alms food for the guests and a hundred blessings for alms of rice for fish in the lake, socks all dedicate to the dragon god, and bring him red soil with white and blue water lilies. He repeated his plea three times.
The Dragon King there listened to all his prayers, turned into an old man who went to meet the servant, and asked again. After hearing the soldier speak again three times to dedicate all merit to alms, the dragon king brought red soil with a gun. The king was afraid of the soldier in order to fulfill his mission, so he ordered to close and seal it very early. Therefore, although the soldier arrived in time, he could not offer the king of land and flowers, even though he asked the guard to open the door. He was disappointed, his heart was cluttered for ignorance.
Finally, he placed the red earth at the doorstep and hung the gunpowder on the door, shouting:
- Everyone in the city, testify that I have fulfilled the mission given by the king. The king is seeking all ways to harm me without cause.
The soldier shouted three times like that, confused about where to go to hide; thinking of the monks of kindness, he went to the monastery to sleep again. The king could not sleep all night because the fire burned the heart. The king waited until dawn to kill his husband and bring his wife to the palace. Being restless, the king heard four sounds. The reason is that four people have fallen into hell up to sixty miles wide, boiling boiling like grains of rice simmering in pots for thirty years, to the bottom of hell and after thirty years more emerged into the mouth of hell. , looking at each other, wanting to read a verse doesn't matter, just babbling a few words, then falling back into hell again.
King heard the sound above after midnight. Frightened and frightened, the king was bewildered whether he had reached the number, or the post-death chief, or the kingdom that perished, and stayed awake until morning. It's morning, the king invited the priest to ask what it was foreshadowing through the four sounds heard "Du, Sa, Na, So". The Ba-la-Priest is completely ignorant of the meaning, but fearing revealing her ignorance will lose all fame and gain, she should answer:
- Oh! Very serious, my majesty.
The king asked accrued:
- Please speak more clearly!
- It means that His Majesty is about to die.
The more the King was terrified, the more he asked:
- Is there a way to stop it?
- My Majesty, yes. Please don't be afraid. Among the three Vedas, it is indicated that sacrifices of many creatures can save His Majesty.
- What do we have to find?
- One hundred elephants, one hundred horses, one hundred bulls, one hundred cows, one hundred goats, one hundred donkeys, one hundred stallions, one hundred sheep, one hundred chickens, one hundred pigs, one hundred sons, one hundred girls.
The reason Brahmin asked so many things, because just saying the name of the wild animal would be famous for wanting to eat meat, so he needed more elephants, horses and people. The king wanted to save his life at any cost so he agreed. (According to Samyutta, each species reaches five hundred. The people of mercy and cry sound like the sound of a broken earth).
Queen Mat-profit (Mallika) heard the cry loudly, asked the king:
- United Kingdom, how his bases are so chaotic and tired?
- Profit-taking! Don't you know a poisonous snake got into my ears?
And the king tells everything. The queen told the king straight:
- Your Majesty is a fool. In stock, there was no shortage of delicacies and delicacies, His Majesty ruled both kingdoms, but he was truly a scholar.
The king asked in surprise, and was explained by the queen:
- Did His Majesty ever hear that he had to sacrifice his life to save his life ? Just because the foolish Brahmin said that, almost, His Majesty pushed the people into misery. Duc Dao is living in the monastery recently, the master of heaven and people, Thang Tri of the three positions. Your Majesty, come to ask Him for guidance.
The king and queen went to the monastery to meet Buddha. Asked by the Buddha because of what came late, the king was still haunted by the fear of death without words, just at the ceremony and then standing still, the Queen of Maturity-profit instead of the presentation and was taught by the Buddha:
- The sound of a king being heard is the groaning of wicked men.
Then the Buddha asked the king:
- Your Majesty heard what words?
- World Religion, "Du".
Buddha immediately read the verse that the plaintiff wants to utter. After that, he told the king to continue speaking the remaining words, and added them into the following four verses:
Du: Creating bad karma for a lifetime,
There is no grace,
Assets in zillion,
Could not save his life.
Sa: Sixty thousand years long,
Creating evil karma,
The hell is boiling,
Know when to be freed?
Na: There is no day to escape,
Where to get out?
Because of his past, Causing so much pollution.
So: I promise you from here,
If reborn as a human,
Deciding to observe the precepts,
Good work forever.

The Blessed One read and explained each verse. The king heard through the movement of the heart. Understand that adultery is really serious, will fall to hell in the period between the two Buddhas, and then through hell Set suffering more sixty thousand years is not necessarily satisfied. Recalling that he was also going to commit a crime, the king promised himself from here on to wholeheartedly desire his wife and wife, and said to Buddha:
-World Religion, today I know the long night for the awake.
The king's servant sitting nearby also said:
-World Religion, yesterday I know the long way for the tired.
The Blessed One connected the two sentences to the Dharma:
(60) Long night for the awakened,
A long way for the tired,
Long reincarnation, fools,
Do not know the true magic.
King World Religion finished, returned to release all orders and sacrifices. They were sprinkled with water on their heads, returned home and unanimously praised the queen of Mat-profit, wishing her a long life.
