### [v2.c30.78](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c30.78)

Bhattabhatika.—A labourer who, in return for three years' work, obtained the privilege of enjoying the luxuries of the Treasurer Gandha (q.v.). When he was ready to eat, however, a Pacceka Buddha appeared and Bhattabhatika gave him all his food. When Gandha discovered this, he made over to Bhattabhatika one-half of all his possessions, and they became firm friends. The king made Bhattabhatika a Treasurer. After death he was born in the deva-worlds, whence he was reborn in Sāvatthi as Sukhakumāra.¹
