A favourite of King Bhātika of Ceylon. On one occasion a large number of men were charged before the king with having eaten beef. He inflicted a fine, but, as they were unable to pay, he appointed them as scavengers to the palace. One of them had a beautiful daughter, Sāmadevī, whom the king liked and installed in his harem. Owing to her, her kinsmen, too, lived happily. VibhA.440. Updated: 15 September 2011 http://What-Buddha-Said.net/library/DPPN/sa/samadevi.htm |
