Etenūpāyena nagarassa dakkhiṇatopi pañca corasatāni ānetvā amaccānaṃ dassetvā tehi tesampi sīsacchede āṇatte corajeṭṭhakaṃ ādiṃ katvā pucchantā kañci māretuṃ icchantaṃ adisvā ‘‘purimadivase eko puriso pañcasate core māresi, kahaṃ nu kho so’’ti. ‘‘Asukaṭṭhāne amheti diṭṭho’’ti vutte taṃ pakkosāpetvā ‘‘ime mārehi, sammānaṃ lacchasī’’ti āṇāpesuṃ.
