Another chaplain of Pasenadi was Bāvarī who was the son of the chaplain of Pasenadi’s father. Pasenadi bestowed honour and wealth upon Bāvarī, and learnt the arts (sippa) from him in his youth. Bāvarī later took ordination and lived in the royal garden, many Brāhmaṇas becoming his disciples. Pasenadi served him daily with the four requisites. Afterwards Bāvarī and his disciples went to the Deccan.³ Pasenadi also invited two prominent merchants, Meṇḍakaseṭṭhi and Dhanañjayaseṭṭhi, to settle in Kośala.⁴
