Pleased with the look of the tree, he gathered masses of asoka-flowers and heaped them up round the tree. When his pursuers reached him, he remained as he was, looking at them, with no hatred in his heart. They hurled him into a precipice, and he died with the thought of the Bodhi-tree in his heart. Three kappas ago he was a king named Santusita.² He is perhaps identical with Tambapupphiya of the Apadāna.³ - [Previous: v2.c35.421](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.421) - [Next: v2.c35.423](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.423) - [Up: v2.c35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.422](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.422) · Pramāṇa
