The potent King Jambupati lived during the time of the Buddha and exerted terror around himself. The Buddha requested that Jambupati forsake evil and practice kindness. When the king remained reluctant, the Buddha appeared in resplendent royal garments that awed Jambupati into accepting the Buddhist precepts.

Story : The giant Asurindarahu wanted to see the Buddha, but was reluctant to bow before him. The Buddha, while lying down, presented himself as much larger than the giant. He then showed him the realm of heaven with heavenly figures all larger than the giant. After all this, Asurindarahu, the giant, was humbled, and made his obeisance to the Buddha before leaving.

Preaching to Angulimala
Story of Angulimala : Angulimala, the bandit, had to pay off a debt to his teacher of a thousand right-hand fingers. He started killing people and made a garland of their finders. So, he came to have killed 999 people, and was eager to finish the number required and pay off is debt. Then the Buddha encountered him. The bandit started towards him to kill him, but the Buddha made Angulimala perceive the Buddha as running. So Angulimala run and run, but could not catch the Buddha. When the exhausted Angulimala screamed for the Buddha to stop, the Buddha said :
"I stand still Angulimala evermore,
For I am merciful to all living beings;
But you are merciless to living beings.
Therefore I stand still and you stand not still."
Angulimala threw away his sword, and the Buddha blessed him.
