Then the Magadha king Seniya Bimbisåra, having been restored to health, ordered his five hundred wives to put on all their ornaments; then he ordered them to take their ornaments off and to make a heap of them, and he said to Givaka Komárabhakka: * All these ornaments, my dear Glvaka, of my five hundred wives shall be thine.'
Nay, Sire, may Your Majesty remember my office.'
