v2.c36.578
When Saccaka was defeated by the Buddha, as stated in the Cūla-Saccaka Sutta, one of the Licchavis, Dummukha, compared him to a crab in a pool, its claws being smashed one after the other and unable to return to the pool. Saccaka owned defeat, and begged the Buddha to take a meal at his house. The Buddha agreed, and Saccaka became his follower.²
