Note 1 — Chapter XXXVII

There is in this land a town of the name of Ujjayiní, famous throughout the world: in it there lived of old time a merchant’s son, named Niśchayadatta. He was a gambler and had acquired money by gambling, and every day the generous man used to bathe in the water of the Siprá, and worship Mahákála:1 his custom was first to give money to the Bráhmans, the poor, and the helpless, and then to anoint himself and indulge in food and betel.
