THE DREAM-DIVINERS
20. King Shrenik got eight chairs with white covers installed in the area north-east of his throne and for auspicious treatment got white mustard seeds placed on them. A gorgeous, rich and gem studded screen-partition was placed on the inner side of this throne platform. This screen was made of soft imported cloth with exquisite illustrations of Iha-mrig (wolf), bull, horse, crocodile, birds, Kinnars (lower gods), yak, elephant, lotus creeper, etc. embroidered and enriched with brocade. A beautiful gem studded throne with soft, comfortable cushions and pillows with clean white cotton covers was placed behind the screen for Queen Dharini.
After making all these arrangements King Shrenik summoned his attendants and said, "Beloved of gods! call the scholars of the eight-fold scripture of augury and various other scriptures, and also the dream diviners, as soon as possible.
सूत्र २१. तए णं ते कोडुंबियपुरिसा सेणिए णं रन्ना एवं वुत्ता समाणा हट्ट जाव हियया करयलपरिग्गहियं दसनहं सिरसावत्तं मत्थए अंजलिं कट्टु ' एवं देवो तह त्ति' आणाए विणणं वयणं पडिसुर्णेति, पडिसुणित्ता सेणियस्स रण्णो अंतियाओ पडिनिक्खमंति, पडिनिक्खमित्ता रायगहस्स नगरस्स मज्झमज्झेणं जेणेव सुमिणपाढगगिहाणि तेणेव उवागच्छंति, उवागच्छित्ता सुमिणपाढए सावेंति ।

सूत्र २१. राजा के इस कथन पर सेवक आनन्दित हुए। दोनों हाथों को जोड़ अँगुलियों की पोरों को मिलाकर अंजलिबद्ध किया और मस्तक के पास घुमाकर बोले, "हे देव ! ऐसा ही हो ।” विनयपूर्वक आज्ञा शिरोधार्य कर वे राजगृह नगर के बीच होते हुए उस भाग पहुँचे जहाँ स्वप्न फल वेत्ता पण्डित रहते थे। वहाँ पहुँचकर पण्डितों को राजसभा में आने का निमन्त्रण दिया।
21. The attendants happily and humbly accepted the king's order. Crossing the crowded streets of Rajagriha they reached the area where the scholars of augury and allied subjects lived and, extended the king's invitation to them for attending the assembly.
सूत्र २२. तए णं ते सुमिणपाढगा सेणियस्स रन्नो कोडुंबियपुरिसेहिं सद्दाविया समाणा तुट्ठ जाव हियया हाया कयबलिकम्मा जाव कयकोउय-मंगलपायच्छित्ता
