10.4 The Story about the Elder Kuṇḍadhāna

Elder Kuṇḍadhāna was followed round by a Devatā due to his behaviour in a previous existence, and the bhikkhus, thinking he was breaking his vow of chastity, incited the king to drive him out; the king believed in his innocence though and gave him an invitation; the bhikkhus blamed Elder Kuṇḍadhāna and he, unjustly, blamed them in return; the Buddha admonished him thus.
