It is mentioned that king Jiyasattu besieged the city of Ujjeni and as a result of which the king of Ujjeni died and the city was captured by the enemy. The king of Ujjeni had four *sāvaga* servants. One of them applied oil to one foot of Jiyasattu and challenged any one who was equal to him in doing so to the other. Jiyasattu felt a burning sensation and it is said that since then he turned black and came to be known as Kākavaṇṇa⁷⁸
