The longest account is found in the introductory story of the Kuṇāla Jātaka. The cause of the dispute was the use of the water of the River Rohiṇī (q.v.), which flowed between the two kingdoms. The quarrel waxed fierce, and a bloody battle was imminent, when the Buddha, arriving in the air between the two hosts, asked them, "Which is of more priceless value, water or khattiya chiefs?" He thus convinced them of their folly and made peace between them. On this occasion he preached five Jātaka stories—the Phandana, Daddabha, Laṭukika, Rukkhadhamma and Vaṭṭaka (Sammodamāna)—and the Attadaṇḍa Sutta. To show their gratitude the Sākyans and Koliyans gave each two hundred and fifty young men from their respective families to join the Order of the Buddha.¹¹ - [Previous: v2.c36.264](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.264) - [Next: v2.c36.266](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.266) - [Up: v2.c36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36) ## Linked texts (1) - [Jātaka](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.jataka) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.265](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.265) · Pramāṇa
