2.2 The Story about Kumbhaghosaka

Kumbhaghosaka was a rich man’s son who escaped his afflicted household during a plague; later he disguised himself as a poor man and worked for his living, but was recognised by the king, who honoured him and gave him his daughter in marriage; when he heard the story the Buddha spoke a verse about him.
