Now (two of them), wandering for seeking alms by gathering them from house to house, in the families, high, middle-classand low, entered the house of Devai, queen of king Vasudeva. Then this Queen Devai saw these friars coming. Having seen them, she became glad [until], got up from the seat, thrice walked round them from right to right at a space of eight feet, praised and worshipped them, went in the direction of the pantry, filled the the tray with Sihakesara sweet-balls, offered it to the friars praised and worshipped them and let them
return.
