2. Kosala Sutta - Everything changes, even Pasenadi, king of Kasi Kosala, the whole universe, even Maha Brahma and the devas of the Abhassara world. Instability and change are everywhere; therefore the wise loathe all, having a mind only to attain in this life the anupadaparinibbana (A.v.59ff).
3. Kosala Sutta - Pasenadi visits the Buddha at Jetavana after having won a battle, and, falling at the Buddhas feet, shows great humility and does obeisance. When the Buddha asks the reason for such profound homage, the king gives various reasons for his honouring of the Buddha (A.v.65ff).
