By upholding the single precept against killing, he obtained five retributions of not dying: first, not dying when boiled in a cauldron; second, not burning on a roasting pan; third, not drowning in water; fourth, not decaying in a fish's belly; fifth, not being harmed by knife blades. A sūtra states: "For eighty years since leaving the household life, his eyes did not gaze at a woman's face, he did not enter a nunnery, nor did he preach a single verse to a woman. King Aśoka visited various stūpas to make offerings and gave many alms; upon arriving at Vakkula's stūpa, hearing that during his life he had few desires, was easily satisfied, and did not preach a single verse to a woman, he offered a single coin to it, but the stūpa did not accept it. King Aśoka said: 'This is true fewness of desires, even to the extent of not accepting a single coin.'" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.233](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.1.233) - [Next: 1.235](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.1.235) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721~en-mt.1.234) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.1.234](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.1.234) · Pramāṇa
