The last named was discovered for him by the prince Abhaya when he was suffering from a fistula. The king’s garments were stained with blood and his queens mocked him. Jīvaka cured the king with one single anointing; the king offered him the ornaments of the five hundred women of the palace, and when he refused to take these, he was appointed physician to the king, the women of the seraglio and the fraternity of monks under the Buddha.¹⁹ - [Previous: v2.c29.385](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29.385) - [Next: v2.c29.387](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29.387) - [Up: v2.c29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29.386](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29.386) · Pramāṇa
