King Nimi’s Conduct
“Then again when I wasin the capital city of MithilāI was the great king named Nimi,astute and seeking the good.Then having had constructedfour halls with four openings,I provided gifts therefor beasts, birds, men, and so forth.Clothing and beds,food and drink to enjoy:I provided them without let,performing a great offering.Suppose a servant is lookingto get a raise from their boss,they’d seek to fulfill their needsby body, speech, and mind.In that way in every lifeI shall seek the wisdom born of awakening.Having pleased beings with gifts,I wish for the supreme awakening.”
