When a certain crow-keeper’s family, members of which had been of special service to him, had been destroyed by a pestilence, leaving only two very young boys, he obtained the Buddha’s special permission to ordain them and look after them, though they were under the requisite age.⁷⁶ - [Previous: v1.c7.359](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c7.359) - [Next: v1.c7.361](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c7.361) - [Up: v1.c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c7.360](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c7.360) · Pramāṇa
