page 307 note † An interesting sidelight is thrown upon this subject by one of the Buddhist Jutakas, which tells of a certain King of Benares who was so wicked that every one rejoiced at his death except one of the doorkeepers, who wept because he feared that the King would be turned out of hell, and would come back again ! The Bodhisatta reassures the man : the King has been well cremated :

“Thousands of loads of wood have burnt him quite,

Thousands of pitchers quenched what still did burn ;

The earth is dug abont to left and right.

Fear not: The King will never more return.”
