Together they did many good deeds and were reborn in heaven. In the time of Vipassī Buddha, the husband was the brahmin Ekasāṭaka and she was his wife. In his next birth he was king of Benares and she his chief queen. Together they entertained eight Pacceka Buddhas on a very lavish scale. In the interval between the appearance in the world of Koṇāgamana and Kassapa Buddha, the husband was a clansman and she his wife. One day a quarrel arose between her and her sister-in-law. The latter gave alms to a Pacceka Buddha and Bhaddā, thinking “She will win glory for this,” took the bowl from her hand and filled it with mud. But later she was filled with remorse, took back the bowl, emptied it, scrubbed it with scented powder and, having filled it with the four sweet foods, sprinkled over the top ghee of the colour of a lotus-calyx. Handing it back to the Pacceka Buddha, she prayed to herself “May I have a shining body like this offering.” - [Previous: v2.c30.169](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c30.169) - [Next: v2.c30.171](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c30.171) - [Up: v2.c30](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c30) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c30.170](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c30.170) · Pramāṇa
