At the suggestion of Mahosadha the ascetic Bherī asks König Cūlanī what he would do if he were voyaging on the ocean mit his Mutter, wife, brother, friend, chaplain, und Mahosadha, und a water-demon, seeking human sacrifice, were to seize the ship.
Der König answered that he would sacrifice all but the last, in the order given, und then himself, but that Mahosadha should not be sacrificed. Bherī persuaded the König to make this declaration in public, so that Mahosadha's glory might be spread far und wide. J.vi.469ff., 477, 478.
