At that time, grain was expensive in the world, and many died of starvation; almsfood was difficult to obtain. There was a pratyekabuddha named Pi-li-zha (Paliṭṭha) who also lived here relying \[on the community\]. > The pratyekabuddha rose early to beg for food. At that time, I arose early and went out wishing to carry loads, and saw the pratyekabuddha. When I returned carrying loads, I saw him again. Then I had this thought: 'When this man arose early, I saw him; now I see him coming out again—he must not have obtained food.' He then followed behind me to my house. Then I had this thought: I wished to invite him. I immediately divided my food and brought it to his place. Having arrived, I said to him, 'Rishi, this is my portion. Please take pity on me and accept this food.' > The pratyekabuddha received half in his bowl \[and said\], 'You eat half yourself, and it will be sufficient for both.' > I replied, 'Rishi, I have a home and can eat whenever there is occasion. You, rishi, show me compassion and accept all of this offering.' > Out of compassion, this pratyekabuddha accepted it all. Because of this offering, I was reborn seven times in the heavens, becoming a heavenly king, and seven times among humans, also becoming a human king. In my present life, I was born into the Śākya clan with boundless wealth, but I abandoned it, left home to cultivate the Way, and attained realization."
