c8.66

The Sūtrakṛtāṅga refers to Rājagṛha as a rich, happy and thriving city (Jaina Sūtras, SBE, II, 419). There lived a friar well-versed in magic art at Rājagṛha. He carried off every woman he saw. The king being informed of it was determined to find out the friar and punish him. The friar was killed by the king who released all the captured women; one of them refused to return to her husband being smitten with love for her seducer. Being advised she was made to drink the milk mixed up with friar's bones. This took the spell off her and cured her of her strange passion (Jaina Sūtras, II, p. 383, f.n. 1).
