### [v1.c23.239](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c23.239)

The story was told in reference to Udāna’s she-elephant Bhaddavatikā (q.v.). In her old age the king neglected her, but one day she complained to the Buddha, who admonished the king on the duty of gratitude to those who had once been of great service. The elephant was the same in both stories.¹
