Theravāda Collection on Monastic Law The Great Division The chapter on skins 1. The account of Soṇa Koḷivisa At one time the Buddha was staying on the Vulture Peak at Rājagaha. At that time King Seniya Bimbisāra of Magadha ruled over eighty thousand villages, and at Campā there was a wealthy merchant who had a son called Soṇa Koḷivisa. He had been raised in great comfort, so much so that he had hairs growing on the soles of his feet. On one occasion, King Bimbisāra had the chiefs of those eighty thousand villages gathered because of some business. He then sent a message to Soṇa, asking him to come.
