c4.t3.44
"The prince and Brahmin, Vesiya and Ugga great and small,
Merchants and footmen, charioteers and soldiers, one and all,
The country landowners, and all the Sivi folk come by,
Seeing the elephant depart, thus to the king did cry:
'Oh Sañjaya, the people's friend, say why this thing was done
By him, a prince of our own time, Vessantara, thy son?'" ²
