[1273] "Fie upon sensual pleasures (kāma), though they be ever so many in the world! Austerity (tapa) is better than sensual pleasures (kāmaguṇa), O king. Abandoning sensual pleasures, I shall practice austerity; let the kingdom, and Candavatī too, be yours alone." The Lomasakassapa Jātaka, the seventh. ____________ 8. The Cakkavāka Jātaka
