They were pursued by the villagers and fled into the forest for safety. There they saw a monk sitting on a stone and asked him for protection. He advised them to take the five precepts, and when they had done so, he exhorted them never to violate these precepts even if keeping them meant the loss of their lives. Soon after, they were captured and killed. But remembering the monk’s admonition at the moment of death, they harboured no hatred against anyone, and after death were reborn in the deva-world.⁷ - [Previous: v2.c32.234](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c32.234) - [Next: v2.c32.236](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c32.236) - [Up: v2.c32](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c32) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c32.235](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c32.235) · Pramāṇa
