6.33

"At that time, the sage king struck bells and beat drums, riding upon a great jeweled carriage to Sudatta's house. Seeing him, the old woman was exceedingly joyful: 'The emergence of a sage king into the world brings abundant benefit. He distinguishes good from evil and will surely not be deceived by ascetics.' Coming out of the wooden cage, she respectfully bowed to the sage king. The sage king then dispatched the minister of the treasury to go to where the woman was, saying to her: 'Sister! You have past merit that corresponds to the marks of royalty. The sage king now wishes to make you, sister, his jeweled woman (strī-ratna).' The old woman replied: 'My body is low and wretched, like filth and dung. That the sage king has deigned to ask after me brings immeasurable joy and celebration, but how could I be worthy to serve as a jeweled woman? If he takes pity on me, let him order my master to release me and set me free; what is bestowed would already be great.'
