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 - [Previous: v2.c36.3538](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.3538) - [Next: v2.c36.3540](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.3540) - [Up: v2.c36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.3539](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.3539) · Pramāṇa
