When Pajjoya reached Ujjenī, he was told how he had been deceived by Abhaya. Thereupon Pajjoya decided to fetch him from Rājagaha. A courtesan set out with seven other women to Rājagaha, where she pretended to be a chaste widow devoted to the Jain faith. One day they met Abhaya in a Jain temple and invited him to a feast when he was made drunk and was carried to Ujjenī in a horse-chariot. Abhaya lived in the court of Pajjoya for a long time and did his ministerial work.
