All this was reported to Romapāda (the lord of Aṅga) by his servants. So he went and, while the hermit (Pālakāpya) was gone into the hermitage, caught the elephants, and came straightway to Campā, and gave them over to the excellent sages (munivarya) Gautama, Nārada, and the rest. But they fastened them securely to posts, and then dwelt there in peace, as did the other folk likewise. [...]”.
