[526] There the Blessed One was dwelling near Sāvatthī, in Jeta's Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park. Now at that time a great crowd of people had gathered at the gate of the inner palace of King Pasenadi of Kosala, making a loud noise, a great clamor: "Sire, in your realm there is a bandit named Aṅgulimāla—savage, bloody-handed, given over to killing and slaughter, merciless toward living beings. By him villages have been made villages no more, towns made towns no more, and districts made districts no more. Slaying human beings again and again, he wears a garland of their fingers. Let Your Majesty put him down!"
Then King Pasenadi of Kosala, having departed from Sāvatthī with as many as five hundred horses, entered by the road toward the park in the middle of the day. Having gone by carriage as far as the ground was passable for carriages, he descended from the carriage and approached the Blessed One on foot; having approached, he paid homage to the Blessed One and sat down at one side.
