Tika Dhammachak (Expansion scripture of the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta). The content tells a young man named Cittavadi. He left his hometown and married a beautiful wife in Yanavadi city. One day, he missed his parents and left his wife for visiting them. He promised with his wife that he would be back within seven days. His wife was waiting for him until the days after the seventh day, the husband did not return. One day she was sick and died. When Cittavadi heard, he rushed back. He saw the people put his wife’s body in the cemetery and prepared for the cremation. With love, he hugged the corpse and cried. He did not allow them to cremate. Finally, all people got away. Only Cittavadi and his wife’s body were in the cemetery. At the time, four giants came to the cemetery for eating the corpse. Cittavadi thought that he was willingly killed by the giants in order to die with his wife. But Indra came and rescured Cittavadi from the giants.
