### [v1.c16.963](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16.963)

Tradition has it that Cūlapanthaka was once a king and that while going in procession round his city he wiped the sweat from his brow with a spotless garment which he wore and noticed how the cloth was stained. His mind then grasped the idea of impermanence, hence the ease with which he did so in his last birth.
