The story of the son of a career. His
father was a heretic, but he, while playing with a Buddhist lad, had learnt to
say "Praise be to the Buddha." One day he went with his father on a journey, and
as his father got locked into the city at sunset, he had to spend the night all
alone under the cart outside the walls of Rājagaha. During the night, two
Yakkhas tried to eat him, but in his dream he whispered "Praise be to the
Buddha" and was saved. The king, hearing the story, repeated it to the Buddha.
DhA.iii.455ff.
