v2.c36.3539

Suta-Brahmadatta.—A king of Benares, so called because he never tired of learning (suta). He was once visited by eight Paceka Buddhas and entertained them. At the end of the meal, they rose and, each speaking only a word or two as thanks, went away. The king was at first disappointed, but realizing the import of their words, he renounced the world and became a Paceka Buddha. His verse is included in the Khaggavisāna Sutta (verse 57).¹
