A third time, cowherds, shepherds, & farmers said to the Blessed One, "Don't go along that road, contemplative. Groups of ten, twenty, thirty, & forty men have gone along that road, and even they have fallen into Angulimala's hands." When this was said, the Blessed One kept going in silence.Ī second time. Having repeatedly killed human beings, he wears a garland made of fingers. He has turned villages into non-villages, towns into non-towns, settled countryside into unsettled countryside. Cowherds, shepherds, & farmers saw him going along the road to where Angulimala was staying, and on seeing him said to him, "Don't go along that road, contemplative, for on that road is Angulimala: brutal, bloody-handed, devoted to killing & slaying, showing no mercy to living beings. Carrying his robes & bowl, he went along the road to where Angulimala was staying. Having wandered for alms in Savatthi and returning from his alms round after his meal, he set his lodging in order.
Then the Blessed One, early in the morning, having put on his robes and carrying his outer robe & bowl, went into Savatthi for alms. Having repeatedly killed human beings, he wore a garland (mala) made of fingers (anguli). He turned villages into non-villages, towns into non-towns, settled countryside into unsettled countryside.
And at that time in King Pasenadi's realm there was a bandit named Angulimala: brutal, bloody-handed, devoted to killing & slaying, showing no mercy to living beings. I have heard that on one occasion the Blessed One was staying near Savatthi at Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's monastery.
