At that time Mahā Kassapa had two novices, one serviceable and helpful and the other ill-behaved. Whatever was done by his comrade the latter would pretend that he himself had done it. One day, in exasperation, the good novice heated water for the Elder's bath and then hid it in a back room, leaving only a little in the boiler. When the other novice saw the steam rising he informed the Elder that his bath was ready. When asked where was the water, he let a ladle down into the almost empty boiler and the ladle rattled. When the story became known he was nick-named Uluṅkasaddaka ("Rattle-ladle"). - [Previous: v1.c12.2323](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.2323) - [Next: v1.c12.2325](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.2325) - [Up: v1.c12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.2324](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.2324) · Pramāṇa
