Thereupon Ahimsaka waylaid travellers in the Jālinī forest in Kosala and killed them, taking a finger from each. The finger-bones thus obtained he made into a garland to hang round his neck, hence the name Aṅgulimāla. - [Previous: v1.c6.393](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.393) - [Next: v1.c6.395](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.395) - [Up: v1.c6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.394](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.394) · Pramāṇa
