    Then King Pasenadi rode on the elephant as far as the terrain allowed, then descended and approached Ānanda on foot. He bowed, stood to one side, and said to Ānanda,

     If a prize village was suitable for you, I would give you one.

103. 103

     अपिa·pi च,ca भन्ते,bhan·te मयम्पेतंma·yam·pe·taṃ जानाम:jā·nā·ma

     Api ca, bhante, mayampetaṁ jānāma:

     But, sir, I know that

104. 104

     ‘नेतंne·taṃ आयस्मतोā·yas·ma·to आनन्दस्सā·nan·das·sa कप्पती’ति।kap·pa·tī

     ‘netaṁ āyasmato ānandassa kappatī’ti.

     these things are not suitable for you.

105. 105

     This foreign cloth was sent to me by King Ajātasattu of Magadha, son of the princess of Videha, packed in a parasol case. It’s exactly sixteen measures long and eight wide.

106. 106

     तं,taṃ भन्ते,bhan·te आयस्माā·yas·mā आनन्दोā·nan·do पटिग्गण्हातुpa·ṭig·gaṇ·hā·tu अनुकम्पंa·nu·kam·paṃ उपादाया”ति।u·pā·dā·yā

     Taṁ, bhante, āyasmā ānando paṭiggaṇhātu anukampaṁ upādāyā”ti.

     May Venerable Ānanda please accept it out of sympathy.”

107. 107

     “अलं,a·laṃ महाराज,ma·hā·rā·ja परिपुण्णंpa·ri·puṇ·ṇaṃ मेme तिचीवरन्”ति।ti·cī·va·ran

     “Alaṁ, mahārāja, paripuṇṇaṁ me ticīvaran”ti.

     “Enough, Great King. My three robes are complete.”

108. 108

     “अयं,a·yaṃ भन्ते,bhan·te अचिरवतीa·ci·ra·va·tī नदीna·dī दिट्ठाdiṭ·ṭhā आयस्मताā·yas·ma·tā चेवce·va आनन्देनā·nan·de·na अम्हेहिam·he·hi च।ca

     “Ayaṁ, bhante, aciravatī nadī diṭṭhā āyasmatā ceva ānandena amhehi ca.

     “Sir, we have both seen this Aciravatī River

     when it has rained heavily in the mountains, and the river overflows both its banks.

     evameva kho, bhante, āyasmā ānando imāya bāhitikāya attano ticīvaraṁ karissati.

     In the same way, Venerable Ānanda can make a set of three robes for himself from this foreign cloth,

111. 111

     यंyaṃ पनायस्मतोpa·nā·yas·ma·to आनन्दस्सā·nan·das·sa पुराणंpu·rā·ṇaṃ तिचीवरंti·cī·va·raṃ तंtaṃ सब्रह्मचारीहिsab·rah·ma·cā·rī·hi संविभजिस्सति।saṃ·vi·bha·jis·sa·ti

     Yaṁ panāyasmato ānandassa purāṇaṁ ticīvaraṁ taṁ sabrahmacārīhi saṁvibhajissati.

     and you can share your old robes with your fellow monks.

     In this way my religious donation will come to overflow, it seems to me.

113. 113

     Please accept the foreign cloth.”

     Paṭiggahesi kho āyasmā ānando bāhitikaṁ.

     So Ānanda accepted it.

115. 115

     अथa·tha खोkho राजाrā·jā पसेनदिpa·se·na·di कोसलोko·sa·lo आयस्मन्तंā·yas·man·taṃ आनन्दंā·nan·daṃ एतदवोच:e·ta·da·vo·ca

     Atha kho rājā pasenadi kosalo āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ etadavoca:

     Then King Pasenadi said to him,

116. 116

     “हन्दhan·da चca दानिdā·ni मयं,ma·yaṃ भन्तेbhan·te आनन्द,ā·nan·da गच्छाम;gac·chā·ma

     “handa ca dāni mayaṁ, bhante ānanda, gacchāma;

     “Well, now, sir, I must go.

     I have many duties, and much to do.”

118. 118

     “यस्सदानिyas·sa·dā·ni त्वं,tvaṃ महाराज,ma·hā·rā·ja कालंkā·laṃ मञ्ञसी”ति।mañ·ña·sī

     “Yassadāni tvaṁ, mahārāja, kālaṁ maññasī”ti.

     “Please, Great King, go at your convenience.”

119. 119

     अथa·tha खोkho राजाrā·jā पसेनदिpa·se·na·di कोसलोko·sa·lo आयस्मतोā·yas·ma·to आनन्दस्सā·nan·das·sa भासितंbhā·si·taṃ अभिनन्दित्वाa·bhi·nan·dit·vā अनुमोदित्वाa·nu·mo·dit·vā उट्ठायासनाuṭ·ṭhā·yā·sa·nā आयस्मन्तंā·yas·man·taṃ आनन्दंā·nan·daṃ अभिवादेत्वाa·bhi·vā·det·vā पदक्खिणंpa·dak·khi·ṇaṃ कत्वाkat·vā पक्कामि।pak·kā·mi

     Atha kho rājā pasenadi kosalo āyasmato ānandassa bhāsitaṁ abhinanditvā anumoditvā uṭṭhāyāsanā āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṁ katvā pakkāmi.

     Then King Pasenadi approved and agreed with what Ānanda said. He rose from his seat, bowed, and respectfully circled Ānanda, keeping him on his right, before leaving.

120. 120

     अथa·tha खोkho आयस्माā·yas·mā आनन्दोā·nan·do अचिरपक्कन्तस्सa·ci·ra·pak·kan·tas·sa रञ्ञोrañ·ño पसेनदिस्सpa·se·na·dis·sa कोसलस्सko·sa·las·sa येनye·na भगवाbha·ga·vā तेनुपसङ्कमि;te·nu·pa·saṅ·ka·mi उपसङ्कमित्वाu·pa·saṅ·ka·mit·vā भगवन्तंbha·ga·van·taṃ अभिवादेत्वाa·bhi·vā·det·vā एकमन्तंe·ka·man·taṃ निसीदि।ni·sī·di

     Soon after he left, Ānanda went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side,

121. 121

     एकमन्तंe·ka·man·taṃ निसिन्नोni·sin·no खोkho आयस्माā·yas·mā आनन्दोā·nan·do यावतकोyā·va·ta·ko अहोसिa·ho·si रञ्ञाrañ·ñā पसेनदिनाpa·se·na·di·nā कोसलेनko·sa·le·na सद्धिंsad·dhiṃ कथासल्लापोka·thā·sal·lā·po तंtaṃ सब्बंsab·baṃ भगवतोbha·ga·va·to आरोचेसि।ā·ro·ce·si

     Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando yāvatako ahosi raññā pasenadinā kosalena saddhiṁ kathāsallāpo taṁ sabbaṁ bhagavato ārocesi.

     and told him what had happened.

122. 122

     तञ्चtañ·ca बाहितिकंbā·hi·ti·kaṃ भगवतोbha·ga·va·to पादासि।pā·dā·si

     Tañca bāhitikaṁ bhagavato pādāsi.

     He presented the cloth to the Buddha.

123. 123

     अथa·tha खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā भिक्खूbhik·khū आमन्तेसि:ā·man·te·si

     Atha kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi:

     Then the Buddha said to the mendicants,

124. 124

     “लाभा,lā·bhā भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve रञ्ञोrañ·ño पसेनदिस्सpa·se·na·dis·sa कोसलस्स,ko·sa·las·sa सुलद्धलाभा,su·lad·dha·lā·bhā भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve रञ्ञोrañ·ño पसेनदिस्सpa·se·na·dis·sa कोसलस्स;ko·sa·las·sa

     “lābhā, bhikkhave, rañño pasenadissa kosalassa, suladdhalābhā, bhikkhave, rañño pasenadissa kosalassa;

     “Mendicants, King Pasenadi is lucky, so very lucky,

125. 125

     यंyaṃ राजाrā·jā पसेनदिpa·se·na·di कोसलोko·sa·lo लभतिla·bha·ti आनन्दंā·nan·daṃ दस्सनाय,das·sa·nā·ya लभतिla·bha·ti पयिरुपासनाया”ति।pa·yi·ru·pā·sa·nā·yā

     to get to see Ānanda and pay homage to him.”

126. 126

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

     Idamavoca bhagavā.

     That is what the Buddha said.

127. 127

     अत्तमनाat·ta·ma·nā तेte भिक्खूbhik·khū भगवतोbha·ga·va·to भासितंbhā·si·taṃ अभिनन्दुन्ति।a·bhi·nan·dun·ti

     Attamanā te bhikkhū bhagavato bhāsitaṁ abhinandunti.

     Satisfied, the mendicants approved what the Buddha said.

128. 128

     बाहितिकसुत्तंbā·hi·ti·ka·sut·taṃ निट्ठितंniṭ·ṭhi·taṃ अट्ठमं।aṭ·ṭha·maṃ

     Bāhitikasuttaṁ niṭṭhitaṁ aṭṭhamaṁ.
