Discovering this, he gave them milk-rice and was called Khīrabhatta-tissa. Later he gave rice mixed with ghee and his name became Kaḷyāṇabhatta-tissa. In due course he fed 500 monks daily. One day, while looking for yams in Kumbulapabbata, he discovered 60 treasure-troves and took them home. Later he fed many thousands of monks in Cetiyamba-vihāra, Anurādhapura and Nāgadīpa and lived in Ariyagālatittha as a ferryman, taking people across, free of charge. Sakka, wishing to test him, came as an old brahmin and, having tried his patience, filled his house with valuables and gave him a field of rice. - [Previous: v2.c38.63](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c38.63) - [Next: v2.c38.65](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c38.65) - [Up: v2.c38](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c38) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c38.64](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c38.64) · Pramāṇa
