There was an overlord of Aṅga, like unto the king of the gods, famed under the name of Romapāda. Once he was seated on a jeweled throne on the bank of the Ganges in the city of Campā (campānagarī), surrounded by his retinue, when some people reported to him that all the crops of grain, etc., were being destroyed by wild elephants. The king reflected: ‘Now what can I do?’”.
