This rája, at the time he was improving the Kálawápi tank, observed a certain priest absorbed in the "samádhi" meditation; and not being able to rouse him from that abstraction, had him buried under the embankment (he was raising) by heaping earth over him. This was the retribution manifested in this life, for that impious act. Thus the ten kings (mentioned in this chapter) who were pre-eminently endowed with prosperity, (nevertheless) appeared in the presence of Death in a state of destitution. The wise man, seeing that in the riches of the wealthy there is no stability, will cease to covet riches. The thirty eighth chapter in the Mahawanso, entitled, the "ten kings," composed equally for the delight and affliction of righteous men. THE END OF THE FIRST VOLUME.
