Chapter Seventy-Six: The Fruits of Practice<br />

War erupts between Kosala and Magadha. Queen Mallika passes away. The Buddha speaks to King Pasenadi about politics and virtue.<br />

The Buddha returns to Vulture Peak. Jivaka arranges for King Ajatasattu to meet the Buddha. The Buddha delivers the Sutra on the Fruits<br />

of a Bhikkhu’s Practice.<br />

S. XLVIII, 41; Kutadanta Sutta (D. 5); Samannaphala Sutta (D. 2); Tch’ang 27 (T. 1).<br />

King Ajatasattu’s invasion of Kosala is recorded in S. III, 14-15. The Buddha’s suggestions concerning how the law should deal with<br />

conflict and crime is taken from D. 5, although in this sutra the Buddha was not speaking to either King Pasenadi or King Bimbisara but<br />

rather to a brahmana named Kutadanta. Jivaka’s invitation to King Ajatasattu to go meet the Buddha is spoken of in D. 2 and Tch’ang 27<br />

(T. 1).
