Note 2 — The Mad King
Reading edition
At a certain city there was a foolish King. At the time when the King says anything he kills the whole of the Ministers who do not give answer, “Yahapati” (It is good), to it. In this way, by not remembering to say Yahapati a great number of Ministers tasted death.2 By his doing thus, on account of his making this order [in the end] there was not a Minister for the King.
