ÂLAVAKASUTTA.

27. 'These ten hundred Yakkhas, possessed of supernatural power and of fame, they all take refuge in thee, thou art our incomparable Master. (178)
28. 'We will wander about from village to village, from mountain to mountain, worshipping the perfectly enlightened and the perfection of the Dhamma?'
Hemavatasutta is ended.
(179)
10. ÂLAVAKASUTTA. The Yakkha Álavaka first threatens Buddha, then puts some
questions to him which Buddha answers, whereupon Âlavaka is converted. So it was heard by me:
At one time Bhagavat dwelt at Âlavi, in the realm of the Yakkha Alavaka. Then the Yakkha Alavaka went to the place where Bhagavat dwelt, and having gone there he said this to Bhagavat:
Come out, O Samana !
Yes, O friend !' so saying Bhagavat came out. · Enter, O Samana!''
Yes, O friend !' so saying Bhagavat entered.
A second time the Yakkha Alavaka said this to Bhagavat: 'Come out, O Samana !' "Yes, O friend!' so saying Bhagavat came out.
Enter, O Samana!' "Yes, O friend!' so saying Bhagavat entered.
A third time the Yakkha Alavaka said this to Bhagavat: 'Come out, O Samana!'
• Yes, O friend l'so saying Bhagavat came out. * Enter, O Samana!'
