63. The relevant passage is actually found in The Chapter on Lifting Restrictions (Toh 1, ch. 3), , and reads, “The king may ready the four branches of his armed forces—elephant corps, cavalry, chariot corps, and infantry—and come to the park’s gates, whence he hurls curses, saying, ‘Sirs! Capture the Śākyan ascetics! Kill them! Bind them! Drive them away! May my elephant handlers, grooms, charioteers, bricklayers, standard bearers, and battle flag carriers each see that the king’s duties and activities are accomplished!’ ”
