The Mahāparibbāna Suttanta of the Digha Nikāya speaks of the existence of concord and amity among the Licchavis.² In the Saṃyutta Nikāya (P.T.S., pt. II, pp. 267-68), we find the Buddha saying that the Licchavis were strenuous and diligent, zealous and active. The Blessed One further said that if the Licchavis would be given to luxury and indolence, they were sure to be conquered by the Magadhan King Ajātasattu.
