v1.c9.135
1. **Uggasena.**—King of Benares. The Nāga king, **Campeyya**, was brought before him by a brahmin snake-charmer for a performance, but when the king learnt from the Nāga’s sister, **Sumanā**, what had happened, he caused the Nāga to be set free. Later, Campeyya took him to the Nāga-world and shewed him every honour. Uggasena’s subjects were allowed to bring back from the Nāga-world whatever they desired.¹
