To this end he gave alms for seven days to the Buddha and his monks. In the time of Vipassī Buddha he was a householder near Bandhumatī. The people gave alms to the Buddha and the Order in competition with the king, and when they were in need of honey, curds and sugar, Sivalī gave enough of these for sixty-eight thousand monks. In the time of Atthadassī Buddha he was a king, named Varuṇa, and when the Buddha died, he made great offerings to the Bodhi-tree, dying under it later. Then he was born in the Nimmānarati-world. Thirty-four times he was king of men, under the name of Subāhu.¹ According to the Apadāna account,² his father in his last birth was the Licchavi Mahāli. The Asātarūpa Jātaka³ (q.v.) gives the reason for the delay in Sīvalī’s birth. - [Previous: v2.c36.3150](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.3150) - [Next: v2.c36.3152](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.3152) - [Up: v2.c36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36) ## Cites (3) - [Jātaka](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.jataka.100) — Pāli - [Apadāna](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.apadana) — Pāli - [Theragāthā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.theragatha) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.3151](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.3151) · Pramāṇa
