Thither came a man, saved from a wreck, without any clothes, who set up as a naked ascetic and became known by the name of Karambiya (v.l. Karambhiya). Among his followers was a Nāga-king, Paṇḍara, and also a Garuḍa-king. At the latter's request, he persuaded Paṇḍara to tell him how the Nāgas escaped destruction by the Garuḍas, and later he divulged the secret to the Garuḍa-king. The ascetic's treachery was discovered, and when he swore his innocence his head split in seven and he was dragged to Avīci. The story is given in the Paṇḍara Jātaka,¹ and is referred to in the Milindapañha.² - [Previous: v1.c12.963](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.963) - [Next: v1.c12.965](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.965) - [Up: v1.c12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.964](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.964) · Pramāṇa
