Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.

At one time when the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery,

Tena kho pana samayena thullanandāya bhikkhuniyā upaṭṭhākakulaṁ thullanandaṁ bhikkhuniṁ etadavoca—

a family that was supporting the nun Thullanandā said to her,
9

Thullanandā bhikkhunī—

She replied,

“tumhe bahukiccā bahukaraṇīyā”ti antarāyaṁ akāsi.

Tena kho pana samayena tassa kulassa gharaṁ ḍayhati.

Soon afterwards the house of that family burned down.

Assosuṁ kho bhikkhuniyo tesaṁ manussānaṁ ujjhāyantānaṁ khiyyantānaṁ vipācentānaṁ.

“It’s true, sir.”

The Buddha rebuked her …
