Great cordiality existed between Bimbisāra and Pasenadi. They were connected by marriage, each having married a sister of the other. Pasenadi once visited Bimbisāra in order to obtain from him a person of unbounded wealth (*amitabhoga*) for his kingdom. Bimbisāra had five such—Jotiya, Jaṭila, Meṇḍaka, Puṇṇaka and Kākavaliya; but Pasenadi had none. The request was granted, and Meṇḍaka’s son, Dhanañjaya, was sent back to Kosala with Pasenadi.¹⁷
