2.46

Question: 'If a person eats only one meal of rice, his limit reaches seven days and then he dies. The father-king had already passed twenty-one days; by calculation his life should have ended without doubt. Why did King Ajātaśatru not ask directly: "Gatekeeper, has the father-king died by now?" Why did he raise doubt and ask if he was still alive: what is the meaning of this?'
