Here food (nivāpa) was regularly placed for the squirrels. It is said that once a certain rājā went there for a picnic and, having over-drunk, fell asleep. His retinue, seeing him sleeping, wandered away, looking for flowers and fruits. A snake, attracted by the smell of liquor, approached the king from a neighbouring tree-trunk, and would have bitten him had not a tree-sprite, assuming the form of a squirrel, awakened him by her chirping. In gratitude the rājā gave orders that thenceforth the squirrels in that locality should be fed regularly.¹ Kalandakanivāpa was evidently a favourite resort of the Buddha and his monks. - [Previous: v1.c12.994](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.994) - [Next: v1.c12.996](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.996) - [Up: v1.c12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.995](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.995) · Pramāṇa
