[374] Then, in the morning, a number of bhikkhus, having dressed and taken their bowls and robes, entered Sāvatthī for alms. When they had walked for alms in Sāvatthī and had returned from the alms round after their meal, they approached the Blessed One; having approached, they paid homage to the Blessed One and sat down to one side.
Sitting to one side, those bhikkhus said this to the Blessed One: "Here, venerable sir, King Ajātasattu Vedehiputta of Magadha, having mustered a fourfold army, marched out against King Pasenadi of Kosala toward Kāsi. King Pasenadi of Kosala heard, venerable sir: 'King Ajātasattu Vedehiputta of Magadha, it is said, having mustered a fourfold army, has marched out against me toward Kāsi.' Then, venerable sir, King Pasenadi of Kosala, having mustered a fourfold army, marched out to counter King Ajātasattu Vedehiputta of Magadha toward Kāsi. Then, venerable sir, King Ajātasattu Vedehiputta of Magadha and King Pasenadi of Kosala engaged in battle. And in that battle, venerable sir, King Pasenadi of Kosala defeated King Ajātasattu Vedehiputta of Magadha and captured him alive. Then, venerable sir, this occurred to King Pasenadi of Kosala: 'Although this King Ajātasattu Vedehiputta of Magadha does wrong to me who have done him no wrong, still he is my nephew. What if I, having confiscated the entire elephant corps of King Ajātasattu Vedehiputta of Magadha, and having confiscated his entire cavalry corps, his entire chariot corps, and his entire infantry corps, were to release him with just his life?' Then, venerable sir, King Pasenadi of Kosala, having confiscated the entire elephant corps of King Ajātasattu Vedehiputta of Magadha, having confiscated his entire cavalry corps, having confiscated his entire chariot corps, and having confiscated his entire infantry corps, released him with just his life."
