### [v1.c7.661](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c7.661)

\*\*Āyācitabhatta Jātaka\*\* (No. 19).—Once the squire of a certain village, in the \*\*Kāsi\*\* country, promised the deity of a banyan tree a sacrifice should his enterprise succeed. When he came back from his journey he slew a number of creatures and took them to the tree. The deity of the tree appeared and admonished the squire, saying that no one could attain deliverance by means of slaughter.
