**Kākavaṇṇatissa.**—*Add*: He was once a milakkha in India and looked after a Pacceka Buddha. One day he gave the Pacceka Buddha a meal of ripe jak-fruit. On another occasion, when the Pacceka Buddha visited his house in his absence, his wife tried to tempt him. Having failed, she complained to the husband that the Pacceka Buddha had assaulted her. The latter sought the P.B. to kill him, but, seeing him in mid-air putting on his robe, he was filled with wonder and asked the P.B.’s forgiveness. Later he was born in a hunters’ village near Amaruppala-lena, his name being Amaruppala, and did various good deeds.
