²⁹ DhA. iii. 241 ff.; SNA. (580) says that Bāvari was Mahākosala’s chaplain and Pasenadi studied under him. When Pasenadi came to the throne, Bāvari declared his wish to leave the world. The king tried to prevent him but failed; he did, however, persuade Bāvari to live in the royal park. Bāvari, after staying there for some time, found life in a city uncongenial. The king thereupon detailed two of his ministers to establish a suitable hermitage for Bāvari.
