2. A Discussion With Jīvaka Komārabhacca
8.1
Now at that time Jīvaka Komārabhacca was sitting silently not far from the king.
8.2
Then the king said to him,
8.3
“But my dear Jīvaka, why are you silent?”
8.4
“Your Majesty, this Blessed One, the perfected one, the fully awakened Buddha is staying in my mango grove together with a large Saṅgha of 1,250 mendicants.
8.5
He has this good reputation:
8.6
‘That Blessed One is perfected, a fully awakened Buddha, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, holy, knower of the world, supreme guide for those fit for training, teacher of gods and humans, awakened, blessed.’
8.7
Let Your Majesty pay homage to him.
8.8
Hopefully in so doing your mind will find peace.”
8.9
“Well then, my dear Jīvaka, have the elephants readied.”
