   With Ghaṭīkāra

3. 3

   एवंe·vaṃ मेme सुतं—su·taṃ

   Evaṁ me sutaṁ—

   So I have heard.

   ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā kosalesu cārikaṁ carati mahatā bhikkhusaṅghena saddhiṁ.

   At one time the Buddha was wandering in the land of the Kosalans together with a large Saṅgha of mendicants.

5. 5

   अथa·tha खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā मग्गाmag·gā ओक्कम्मok·kam·ma अञ्ञतरस्मिंañ·ña·ta·ras·miṃ पदेसेpa·de·se सितंsi·taṃ पात्वाकासि।pāt·vā·kā·si

   Atha kho bhagavā maggā okkamma aññatarasmiṁ padese sitaṁ pātvākāsi.

   Then the Buddha left the road, and at a certain spot he smiled.

6. 6

   अथa·tha खोkho आयस्मतोā·yas·ma·to आनन्दस्सā·nan·das·sa एतदहोसि:e·ta·da·ho·si

   Atha kho āyasmato ānandassa etadahosi:

   Then Venerable Ānanda thought,

7. 7

   “कोko नुnu खोkho हेतु,he·tu कोko पच्चयोpac·ca·yo भगवतोbha·ga·va·to सितस्सsi·tas·sa पातुकम्माय?pā·tu·kam·mā·ya

   “ko nu kho hetu, ko paccayo bhagavato sitassa pātukammāya?

   “What is the cause, what is the reason why the Buddha smiled?

8. 8

   Realized Ones do not smile for no reason.”

   Atha kho āyasmā ānando ekaṁsaṁ cīvaraṁ katvā yena bhagavā tenañjaliṁ paṇāmetvā bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

   So Ānanda arranged his robe over one shoulder, raised his cupped palms toward the Buddha, and said,

10. 10

    “कोko नुnu खो,kho भन्ते,bhan·te हेतु,he·tu कोko पच्चयोpac·ca·yo भगवतोbha·ga·va·to सितस्सsi·tas·sa पातुकम्माय?pā·tu·kam·mā·ya

    “ko nu kho, bhante, hetu, ko paccayo bhagavato sitassa pātukammāya?

    “What is the cause, what is the reason why the Buddha smiled?

11. 11

    नna अकारणेनa·kā·ra·ṇe·na तथागताta·thā·ga·tā सितंsi·taṃ पातुकरोन्ती”ति।pā·tu·ka·ron·tī

    Na akāraṇena tathāgatā sitaṁ pātukarontī”ti.

    Realized Ones do not smile for no reason.”

12. 12

    “भूतपुब्बं,bhū·ta·pub·baṃ आनन्द,ā·nan·da इमस्मिंi·mas·miṃ पदेसेpa·de·se वेगळिङ्गंve·ga·ḷiṅ·gaṃ नामnā·ma गामनिगमोgā·ma·ni·ga·mo अहोसिa·ho·si इद्धोid·dho चेवce·va फीतोphī·to चca बहुजनोba·hu·ja·no आकिण्णमनुस्सो।ā·kiṇ·ṇa·ma·nus·so

    “Bhūtapubbaṁ, ānanda, imasmiṁ padese vegaḷiṅgaṁ nāma gāmanigamo ahosi iddho ceva phīto ca bahujano ākiṇṇamanusso.

    “Once upon a time, Ānanda, there was a market town in this spot named Vebhaliṅga. It was successful and prosperous, populous and full of people.

13. 13

    Vegaḷiṅgaṁ kho, ānanda, gāmanigamaṁ kassapo bhagavā arahaṁ sammāsambuddho upanissāya vihāsi.

    And Kassapa, a blessed one, a perfected one, a fully awakened Buddha, lived supported by Vebhaliṅga.

14. 14

    Idha sudaṁ, ānanda, kassapassa bhagavato arahato sammāsambuddhassa ārāmo ahosi.

    It was here, in fact, that he had his monastery,

15. 15

    where he advised the mendicant Saṅgha while seated.”

    Atha kho āyasmā ānando catugguṇaṁ saṅghāṭiṁ paññapetvā bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

    Then Ānanda spread out his outer robe folded in four and said to the Buddha,

17. 17

    “तेनte·na हि,hi भन्ते,bhan·te भगवाbha·ga·vā निसीदतुni·sī·da·tu एत्थ।et·tha

    “tena hi, bhante, bhagavā nisīdatu ettha.

    “Well then, sir, may the Blessed One sit here!

    Then this piece of land will have been occupied by two perfected ones, fully awakened Buddhas.”

    Nisīdi bhagavā paññatte āsane.

    The Buddha sat down on the seat spread out.

    Nisajja kho bhagavā āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ āmantesi:

    When he was seated he said to Venerable Ānanda:

21. 21

    “भूतपुब्बं,bhū·ta·pub·baṃ आनन्द,ā·nan·da इमस्मिंi·mas·miṃ पदेसेpa·de·se वेगळिङ्गंve·ga·ḷiṅ·gaṃ नामnā·ma गामनिगमोgā·ma·ni·ga·mo अहोसिa·ho·si इद्धोid·dho चेवce·va फीतोphī·to चca बहुजनोba·hu·ja·no आकिण्णमनुस्सो।ā·kiṇ·ṇa·ma·nus·so

    “Bhūtapubbaṁ, ānanda, imasmiṁ padese vegaḷiṅgaṁ nāma gāmanigamo ahosi iddho ceva phīto ca bahujano ākiṇṇamanusso.

    “Once upon a time, Ānanda, there was a market town in this spot named Vebhaliṅga. It was successful and prosperous, populous and full of people.

    Vegaḷiṅgaṁ kho, ānanda, gāmanigamaṁ kassapo bhagavā arahaṁ sammāsambuddho upanissāya vihāsi.

    And Kassapa, a blessed one, a perfected one, a fully awakened Buddha, lived supported by Vebhaliṅga.

23. 23

    Idha sudaṁ, ānanda, kassapassa bhagavato arahato sammāsambuddhassa ārāmo ahosi.

    It was here, in fact, that he had his monastery,

24. 24

    where he advised the mendicant Saṅgha while seated.

    The Buddha Kassapa had as chief supporter in Vebhaliṅga a potter named Ghaṭīkāra.

    Ghaṭīkāra had a dear friend named Jotipāla, a student.

    Atha kho, ānanda, ghaṭikāro kumbhakāro jotipālaṁ māṇavaṁ āmantesi:

    Then Ghaṭīkāra addressed Jotipāla,

    ‘आयाम,ā·yā·ma सम्मsam·ma जोतिपाल,jo·ti·pā·la कस्सपंkas·sa·paṃ भगवन्तंbha·ga·van·taṃ अरहन्तंa·ra·han·taṃ सम्मासम्बुद्धंsam·mā·sam·bud·dhaṃ दस्सनायdas·sa·nā·ya उपसङ्कमिस्साम।u·pa·saṅ·ka·mis·sā·ma

    Evaṁ vutte, ānanda, jotipālo māṇavo ghaṭikāraṁ kumbhakāraṁ etadavoca:

    When he said this, Jotipāla said to him,

    and a third time, Ghaṭīkāra addressed Jotipāla,

    Not long after Jotipāla’s ordination, a fortnight later, the Buddha Kassapa—having stayed in Vebhaliṅga as long as he pleased—set out for Varanasi.

    He had the finest carriages harnessed. He then mounted a fine carriage and, along with other fine carriages, set out in full royal pomp from Varanasi to see the Buddha Kassapa.

    He went by carriage as far as the terrain allowed, then descended and approached the Buddha Kassapa on foot. He bowed and sat down to one side.

    Then King Kikī said to the Buddha,

     The Buddha Kassapa consented with silence.

     Then, knowing that the Buddha had consented, King Kikī rose from his seat, bowed, and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on his right, before leaving.

     And when the night had passed, King Kikī had delicious fresh and cooked foods prepared in his own home—soft saffron rice with the dark grains picked out, served with many soups and sauces. Then he had the Buddha informed of the time, saying,

104. 104

     ‘कालो,kā·lo भन्ते,bhan·te निट्ठितंniṭ·ṭhi·taṃ भत्तन्’ति।bhat·tan

     Then Kassapa Buddha robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, went to the home of King Kikī, where he sat down on the seat spread out together with the Saṅgha of mendicants.

     Then I robed up in the morning and, taking my bowl and robe, went to the home of Ghaṭīkāra’s parents, where I said to them,

     “केke आवेसनंā·ve·sa·naṃ उत्तिणंut·ti·ṇaṃ करोन्ती”ति?ka·ron·tī

     “ke āvesanaṁ uttiṇaṁ karontī”ti?

     “Who’s stripping the grass from the workshop?”

172. 172

     “भिक्खू,bhik·khū भगिनि,bha·gi·ni कस्सपस्सkas·sa·pas·sa भगवतोbha·ga·va·to अरहतोa·ra·ha·to सम्मासम्बुद्धस्सsam·mā·sam·bud·dhas·sa कुटिku·ṭi ओवस्सती”ति।o·vas·sa·tī

     “Bhikkhū, bhagini, kassapassa bhagavato arahato sammāsambuddhassa kuṭi ovassatī”ti.

     “It’s the mendicants, sister. The Buddha’s hut is leaking.”

173. 173

     “हरथ,ha·ra·tha भन्ते,bhan·te हरथ,ha·ra·tha भद्रमुखा”ति।bhad·ra·mu·khā

     “Haratha, bhante, haratha, bhadramukhā”ti.

     “Take it, sirs! Take it, dearest ones!”

174. 174

     Atha kho, mahārāja, ghaṭikāro kumbhakāro yena mātāpitaro tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā mātāpitaro etadavoca:

     Then Ghaṭīkāra went up to his parents and said,

175. 175

     “केke आवेसनंā·ve·sa·naṃ उत्तिणमकंसू”ति?ut·ti·ṇa·ma·kaṃ·sū

     “ke āvesanaṁ uttiṇamakaṁsū”ti?

     “Who stripped the grass from the workshop?”

176. 176

     “भिक्खू,bhik·khū तात,tā·ta कस्सपस्सkas·sa·pas·sa किरki·ra भगवतोbha·ga·va·to अरहतोa·ra·ha·to सम्मासम्बुद्धस्सsam·mā·sam·bud·dhas·sa कुटिku·ṭi ओवस्सती”ति।o·vas·sa·tī

     “Bhikkhū, tāta, kassapassa kira bhagavato arahato sammāsambuddhassa kuṭi ovassatī”ti.

     “It was the mendicants, dear. It seems the Buddha’s hut is leaking.”

177. 177

     अथa·tha खो,kho महाराज,ma·hā·rā·ja घटिकारस्सgha·ṭi·kā·ras·sa कुम्भकारस्सkum·bha·kā·ras·sa एतदहोसि:e·ta·da·ho·si

     Atha kho, mahārāja, ghaṭikārassa kumbhakārassa etadahosi:

     Then Ghaṭīkāra thought,

178. 178

     “लाभाlā·bhā वतva·ta मे,me सुलद्धंsu·lad·dhaṃ वतva·ta मे,me

     “lābhā vata me, suladdhaṁ vata me,

     “I’m so fortunate, so very fortunate,

     yassa me kassapo bhagavā arahaṁ sammāsambuddho evaṁ abhivissattho”ti.

     to be trusted so much by the Buddha Kassapa!”

180. 180

     Atha kho, mahārāja, ghaṭikāraṁ kumbhakāraṁ aḍḍhamāsaṁ pītisukhaṁ na vijahati, sattāhaṁ mātāpitūnaṁ.

     Then joy and happiness did not leave him for a fortnight, or his parents for a week.

181. 181

     अथa·tha खो,kho महाराज,ma·hā·rā·ja आवेसनंā·ve·sa·naṃ सब्बन्तंsab·ban·taṃ तेमासंte·mā·saṃ आकासच्छदनंā·kā·sac·cha·da·naṃ अट्ठासि,aṭ·ṭhā·si नna देवोतिवस्सि।de·vo·ti·vas·si

     Atha kho, mahārāja, āvesanaṁ sabbantaṁ temāsaṁ ākāsacchadanaṁ aṭṭhāsi, na devotivassi.

     Then the workshop remained with the atmosphere for a roof for the whole three months, but the heavens did not rain on it.

182. 182

     एवरूपोe·va·rū·po च,ca महाराज,ma·hā·rā·ja घटिकारोgha·ṭi·kā·ro कुम्भकारो’ति।kum·bha·kā·ro

     Evarūpo ca, mahārāja, ghaṭikāro kumbhakāro’ti.

     And that, Great King, is what Ghaṭīkāra the potter is like.’

183. 183

     ‘लाभा,lā·bhā भन्ते,bhan·te घटिकारस्सgha·ṭi·kā·ras·sa कुम्भकारस्स,kum·bha·kā·ras·sa सुलद्धा,su·lad·dhā भन्ते,bhan·te घटिकारस्सgha·ṭi·kā·ras·sa कुम्भकारस्सkum·bha·kā·ras·sa

     ‘Lābhā, bhante, ghaṭikārassa kumbhakārassa, suladdhā, bhante, ghaṭikārassa kumbhakārassa

     ‘Ghaṭīkāra the potter is fortunate, very fortunate,

     यस्सyas·sa भगवाbha·ga·vā एवंe·vaṃ अभिविस्सत्थो’ति।a·bhi·vis·sat·tho

     yassa bhagavā evaṁ abhivissattho’ti.

     to be so trusted by the Buddha Kassapa.’

185. 185

     अथa·tha खो,kho आनन्द,ā·nan·da किकीki·kī कासिराजाkā·si·rā·jā घटिकारस्सgha·ṭi·kā·ras·sa कुम्भकारस्सkum·bha·kā·ras·sa पञ्चमत्तानिpañ·ca·mat·tā·ni तण्डुलवाहसतानिtaṇ·ḍu·la·vā·ha·sa·tā·ni पाहेसिpā·he·si पण्डुपुटकस्सpaṇ·ḍu·pu·ṭa·kas·sa सालिनोsā·li·no तदुपियञ्चta·du·pi·yañ·ca सूपेय्यं।sū·pey·yaṃ

     Then King Kikī sent around five hundred loads of rice, soft saffron rice, and suitable sauce to Ghaṭīkāra.

186. 186

     अथa·tha खोkho ते,te आनन्द,ā·nan·da राजपुरिसाrā·ja·pu·ri·sā घटिकारंgha·ṭi·kā·raṃ कुम्भकारंkum·bha·kā·raṃ उपसङ्कमित्वाu·pa·saṅ·ka·mit·vā एतदवोचुं:e·ta·da·vo·cuṃ

     Atha kho te, ānanda, rājapurisā ghaṭikāraṁ kumbhakāraṁ upasaṅkamitvā etadavocuṁ:

     Then one of the king’s men approached Ghaṭīkāra and said,

187. 187

     ‘इमानिi·mā·ni खो,kho भन्ते,bhan·te पञ्चमत्तानिpañ·ca·mat·tā·ni तण्डुलवाहसतानिtaṇ·ḍu·la·vā·ha·sa·tā·ni किकिनाki·ki·nā कासिराजेनkā·si·rā·je·na पहितानिpa·hi·tā·ni पण्डुपुटकस्सpaṇ·ḍu·pu·ṭa·kas·sa सालिनोsā·li·no तदुपियञ्चta·du·pi·yañ·ca सूपेय्यं।sū·pey·yaṃ

     ‘imāni kho, bhante, pañcamattāni taṇḍulavāhasatāni kikinā kāsirājena pahitāni paṇḍupuṭakassa sālino tadupiyañca sūpeyyaṁ.

     ‘Sir, these five hundred loads of rice, soft saffron rice, and suitable sauce have been sent to you by King Kikī of Kāsi.

188. 188

     Tāni, bhante, paṭiggaṇhathā’ti.

     Please accept them.’

189. 189

     ‘राजाrā·jā खोkho बहुकिच्चोba·hu·kic·co बहुकरणीयो।ba·hu·ka·ra·ṇī·yo

     ‘Rājā kho bahukicco bahukaraṇīyo.

     ‘The king has many duties, and much to do.

190. 190

     अलंa·laṃ मे।me

     Alaṁ me.

     I have enough.

191. 191

     रञ्ञोवrañ·ño·va होतू’ति।ho·tū

     Raññova hotū’ti.

     Let this be for the king himself.’

192. 192

     सियाsi·yā खोkho पनpa·na ते,te आनन्द,ā·nan·da एवमस्स:e·va·mas·sa

     Siyā kho pana te, ānanda, evamassa:

     Ānanda, you might think:

193. 193

     ‘अञ्ञोañ·ño नूनnū·na तेनte·na समयेनsa·ma·ye·na जोतिपालोjo·ti·pā·lo माणवोmā·ṇa·vo अहोसी’ति।a·ho·sī

     ‘añño nūna tena samayena jotipālo māṇavo ahosī’ti.

     ‘Surely the student Jotipāla must have been someone else at that time?’

194. 194

     नna खोkho पनेतं,pa·ne·taṃ आनन्द,ā·nan·da एवंe·vaṃ दट्ठब्बं।daṭ·ṭhab·baṃ

     Na kho panetaṁ, ānanda, evaṁ daṭṭhabbaṁ.

     But you should not see it like this.

195. 195

     अहंa·haṃ तेनte·na समयेनsa·ma·ye·na जोतिपालोjo·ti·pā·lo माणवोmā·ṇa·vo अहोसिन्”ति।a·ho·sin

     Ahaṁ tena samayena jotipālo māṇavo ahosin”ti.

     I myself was the student Jotipāla at that time.”

196. 196

     इदमवोचi·da·ma·vo·ca भगवा।bha·ga·vā

     Idamavoca bhagavā.

     That is what the Buddha said.

197. 197

     अत्तमनोat·ta·ma·no आयस्माā·yas·mā आनन्दोā·nan·do भगवतोbha·ga·va·to भासितंbhā·si·taṃ अभिनन्दीति।a·bhi·nan·dī·ti

     Attamano āyasmā ānando bhagavato bhāsitaṁ abhinandīti.

     Satisfied, Venerable Ānanda approved what the Buddha said.

198. 198

     घटिकारसुत्तंgha·ṭi·kā·ra·sut·taṃ निट्ठितंniṭ·ṭhi·taṃ पठमं।pa·ṭha·maṃ
