332. The Man With Four Virtues

Once upon a time, a king named Yasapani, the Glorious reigned at Benares. His chief captain was named Kalaka, or Blackie. At that time the Bodhisatta was his chaplain, and had the name of Dhammaddhaja, the Banner of the Faith. There was also a man Chattapani, maker of ornaments to the king. The king was a good king. But his chief captain was a backbiter; he took bribes, and defrauded the rightful owners.
