## Chapter 160: The Scattering of the Eager Refusal
Thus, you, the great king, were anointed with the royal anointment. All the people of the city gathered around. Then, those [Isar, Talavar, Madanviya, Kodumbiya, Ibha, Setthi, Senavai, Satthavaha, and others] anointed the young prince Kanagajjhaya with the royal anointment. Then, that prince Kanagajjhaya, the king, wandered about, enjoying the beauty of the Himalayas and the Malaya mountains, until he reached the royal palace.
Then, Queen Paumavati addressed King Kanagajjhaya, saying, "My son! Your [father, King Kanagaraha] ruled the kingdom until his death, and you are the son of his minister, Tetaliputta. Therefore, my son, you should honor, recognize, respect, and esteem that minister Tetaliputta. You should welcome him, provide him with a comfortable dwelling, praise him, offer him a seat, and increase his wealth." Then, that prince Kanagajjhaya listened to Queen Paumavati's words and did as she said, increasing his wealth.
Then, the divine Pottile, seeing Tetaliputta, preached the pure and perfect Dharma to him, but Tetaliputta did not understand. Then, the divine Pottile, with a mind filled with thoughts, desires, and intentions, thought, "Thus, King Kanagajjhaya honors Tetaliputta and increases his wealth, but even though he is preached to, Tetaliputta does not understand the Dharma. Therefore, this is a bad omen for me, as Kanagajjhaya is alienated from Tetaliputta." Thus, Kanagajjhaya became alienated from Tetaliputta.
Then, Tetaliputta, after some time, left his house, surrounded by many people, including his servants and guards, to go to King Kanagajjhaya. As he went, many people, including Isar, Talavar, Madanviya, Kodumbiya, Ibha, Setthi, Senavai, Satthavaha, and others, honored him, welcomed him, greeted him, bowed to him, and followed him, some walking in front, some behind, some on the left, and some on the right.
Then, Tetaliputta reached King Kanagajjhaya. Kanagajjhaya saw Tetaliputta approaching, but he did not honor him, welcome him, or greet him. He remained silent, with his face turned away. Then, Tetaliputta bowed to King Kanagajjhaya, but Kanagajjhaya remained silent, with his face turned away. Then, Tetaliputta, realizing Kanagajjhaya's alienation, became afraid and said, "My King Kanagajjhaya is angry with me. My King Kanagajjhaya is displeased with me. My King Kanagajjhaya is scornful of me. Therefore, I fear that my son, Kanagajjhaya, will kill me." Thus, he was afraid and remained there.
