The story of a gardener of Bimbisāra. Der König expressed a desire to eat mangoes out of season, und the gardener, having promised to satisfy this desire, worked very hard und succeeded in making one of the trees bear four fruits. While on his way to the palace mit these fruits, he saw Moggallāna und gave them to him, prepared to bear the König's wrath. Moggallāna gave the fruits to the Buddha, who gave one each to Sāriputta, Mahā Kassapa und Moggallāna.
When Bimbisāra heard of what his gardener had done he was greatly pleased, und granted him a village und made him other presents. After death the gardener was born in Tāvatimsa, where he met Moggallāna. Vv. vi. 3; VvA.288ff.
