Exiting beyond the four city gates, he proclaimed throughout the realm: 'Whoever desires clothing, bedding, food, or drink may take as much as they wish and depart!' Prince Kalyāṇamitra's fame resounded afar in the eight directions, and all assembled like clouds. Before long, one-third was expended. Then the official in charge of the treasury entered to report to the king: 'Of all the treasures in the storehouses, the prince has already used one-third. The king should consider this.' The king said: 'He is the prince; I dare not go against him.' After a short while, the ministers conferred together: 'That there is a kingdom depends upon the treasuries. If the treasuries are emptied and exhausted, the kingdom will exist in name only.' They went again to report to the king: 'Of all the wealth and treasures, two-thirds have been used. The king should consider this.' The king said: 'He is my prince; I dare not go against him. You may stall a little and not fully satisfy his desires.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.4.9) - [Next: 4.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.4.11) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156~en-mt.4.10) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [ཐབས་མཁས་པ་ཆེན་པོ་སངས་རྒྱས་དྲིན་ལན་བསབ་པའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.tibet.kangyur.mdo_sde.353.4.5) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.4.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.4.10) · Pramāṇa
