37 King Vaṭṭaṅguli

King Pasenadi asks the Buddha for permission to make his image. The Buddha recounts a past life as King Vaṭṭaṅguli, who repaired a broken Buddha-image finger. This merit brought him great power, wealth, and eventual Buddhahood. The Buddha explains the vast benefits of making Buddha-images, and Pasenadi creates a sandalwood image.
