In the time of Phussa Buddha, when the Buddha’s three step-brothers, sons of King Jayasena, obtained their father’s leave to entertain the Buddha for three months, Bimbisāra, then head of a certain district, looked after all the arrangements. His associates in this task were born as petas, and he gave alms to the Buddha in their name in order to relieve their sufferings.²²
