1.8

Now at that time Jīvaka the physician was seated, in silence, not far from Ajātasattu the king. And the king said to him: ‘But you, friend Jīvaka, why do you say nothing?’
‘The Blessed One, Sire, the Arahat, the all-awakened one, is now lodging in our Mango Grove, with a great company of the brethren, with twelve hundred and fifty brethren. And this is the good report that has been noised abroad as to Gotama the Blessed One: “An Arahat, fully awakened, is the exalted One, abounding in wisdom and goodness, happy, with knowledge of the worlds, unsurpassed as a guide to mortals willing to be led, the teacher of gods and men, a blessed Buddha.” Let your Majesty pay a visit to him. It may well be that, on calling upon him, your heart, Sire, shall find peace.’
‘Then, friend Jīvaka, have the riding-elephants made ready.’
