In order to allay any suspicions, Mahānāma sat down to a meal with her, taking one mouthful from the same dish; but before he could swallow it a messenger arrived, as secretly arranged, and summoned him away. He left, asking Vāsabhakhattiyā to continue her meal.⁸ - [Previous: v2.c31.1567](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.1567) - [Next: v2.c31.1569](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.1569) - [Up: v2.c31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.1568](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.1568) · Pramāṇa
