mn35:12.1 “Well then, Aggivessana, I’ll ask you about this in return, and you can answer as you like.
BAGIAN 12
mn35:12.2 What do you think, Aggivessana?
mn35:12.3 Consider an anointed aristocratic king such as Pasenadi of Kosala or Ajātasattu of Magadha, son of the princess of Videha.
mn35:12.4 Would they have the power in their own realm to execute those who have incurred execution, fine those who have incurred fines, or banish those who have incurred banishment?”
mn35:12.5 “An anointed king would have such power, worthy Gotama.
mn35:12.7 Even federations such as the
mn35:12.8 Vajjis and Mallas
mn35:12.9 have such power in their own realm.
mn35:12.11 So of course an anointed king such as Pasenadi or Ajātasattu
mn35:12.12 would wield such power, as is their right.”
