### [v1.c18.624](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c18.624)

The gods brought him a wife from Uttarakuru and lodged her in an apartment in Jotika’s palace. Her name was Satulakāyī.³ She brought with her a pint-pot of rice and three crystal fire-stones. Whenever they wished to eat, they would put rice over the boiler and set it over the crystals. The stones would immediately become alight and, when the meal was cooked, would extinguish themselves. The pot was inexhaustible. All who came to visit Jotika were provided with food and were allowed to take anything they wished from the treasure, the treasure never growing less. So great were the crowds which flocked to Jotika’s palace that for a long time Bimbisāra had no chance of seeing it. When Bimbisāra did in the end visit him with Ajātasattu, Jotika invited him to a meal which was the most dainty the king had ever tasted. After the meal Jotika presented his wife to Bimbisāra; so delicately was she nurtured that the perfume with which the king was scented hurt her eyes! There were no lamps in Jotika’s house; only the light of jewels was made use of, and as a memento of Bimbisāra’s visit Jotika gave him a huge jewel to be used as a lamp.⁴
