There Gavampati often spent his siesta and held conversations with Pāyāsi, who sent through him a message to the inhabitants of the earth, that they should profit by the example of him (Pāyāsi) and discriminate in the bestowal of their gifts. - [Previous: v1.c14.401](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c14.401) - [Next: v1.c14.403](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c14.403) - [Up: v1.c14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c14) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c14.402](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c14.402) · Pramāṇa
