Samannaphalasutta 1.9

1.9

‘Very good, Sire!’ said Jīvaka the physician in assent to the words of the king. And he had five hundred she-elephants made ready, and the state elephant the king was wont to ride, and had word brought to the king: ‘The elephants, Sire, are caparisoned. Do now what seemeth to you meet.’ Then the king had five hundred of his women mounted on the she-elephants, one on each; and himself mounted the state elephant; and he went forth, the attendants bearing torches, in royal pomp, from Rājagaha to Jīvaka the physician’s Mango Grove.
