points and tremble continually. Popular fancy says this is in memory of
the tremendous struggle which they witnessed.]

[Footnote 330: Such are the Padhana-sutta of the Sutta-Nipata which has
an air of antiquity and the tales in the Mahavagga of the
Samyutta-Nikaya. The Mahavagga of the Vinaya (I. 11 and 13) mentions
