24 --- The Story of Tambadathika While residing at the Jetavana Monastery, the Buddha spoke this verse, with reference to Tambadathika, the executioner of thieves. Tambadathika served the king as an executioner of thieves for fifty-five years. In old age he could no longer cut off a man's head with a single blow. On the day he was retired from office, he gave orders that sweet milk-porridge should be cooked for him. And taking with him old clothes and jasmine flowers and perfumes, he went to the river and bathed. Having so done, he put on the old clothes, decked himself with garlands, anointed his limbs, and went home and sat down. They set before him sweet milk-porridge made with fresh ghee and water for rinsing the hands.
