Ekaṁ samayaṁ sambahulā therā bhikkhū macchikāsaṇḍe viharanti ambāṭakavane.

At one time several senior mendicants were staying near Macchikāsaṇḍa in the Wild Mango Grove.

Then Citta the householder went up to them, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to them,
6

“अधिवासेन्तुa·dhi·vā·sen·tu मे,me भन्ते,bhan·te थेराthe·rā स्वातनायsvā·ta·nā·ya गोकुलेgo·ku·le भत्तन्”ति।bhat·tan

“adhivāsentu me, bhante, therā svātanāya gokule bhattan”ti.

“Sirs, would the senior monks please accept tomorrow’s meal from me in my milkshed?”
7

Adhivāsesuṁ kho therā bhikkhū tuṇhībhāvena.

They consented with silence.
8

Atha kho citto gahapati therānaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ adhivāsanaṁ viditvā uṭṭhāyāsanā there bhikkhū abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṁ katvā pakkāmi.

Then, knowing that the senior mendicants had consented, Citta rose from his seat, bowed, and respectfully circled them, keeping them on his right, before leaving.
9

Then when the night had passed, the senior mendicants robed up in the morning and, taking their bowls and robes, went to Citta’s milkshed, and sat down on the seats spread out.
10

अथa·tha खोkho चित्तोcit·to गहपतिga·ha·pa·ti थेरेthe·re भिक्खूbhik·khū पणीतेनpa·ṇī·te·na सप्पिपायासेनsap·pi·pā·yā·se·na सहत्थाsa·hat·thā सन्तप्पेसिsan·tap·pe·si सम्पवारेसि।sam·pa·vā·re·si

Atha kho citto gahapati there bhikkhū paṇītena sappipāyāsena sahatthā santappesi sampavāresi.

Then Citta served and satisfied the senior mendicants with his own hands with delicious milk-rice made with ghee.
11

Atha kho therā bhikkhū bhuttāvino onītapattapāṇino uṭṭhāyāsanā pakkamiṁsu.

When the senior mendicants had eaten and washed their hands and bowls, they rose from their seats and left.
12

Cittopi kho gahapati “sesakaṁ vissajjethā”ti vatvā there bhikkhū piṭṭhito piṭṭhito anubandhi.

Citta instructed that the leftovers of the food be distributed, then followed behind the senior mendicants.
13

Now at that time it was boiling hot.

And those senior mendicants walked along as if their bodies were melting, as happens after a meal.
15

Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā mahako tasmiṁ bhikkhusaṅghe sabbanavako hoti.

Now at that time Venerable Mahaka was the most junior mendicant in that Saṅgha.
16

अथa·tha खोkho आयस्माā·yas·mā महकोma·ha·ko आयस्मन्तंā·yas·man·taṃ थेरंthe·raṃ एतदवोच:e·ta·da·vo·ca

Atha kho āyasmā mahako āyasmantaṁ theraṁ etadavoca:

Then Venerable Mahaka said to the senior venerable,
17

“साधुsā·dhu ख्वस्स,khvas·sa भन्तेbhan·te थेर,the·ra सीतकोsī·ta·ko चca वातोvā·to वायेय्य,vā·yey·ya अब्भसम्पिलापोab·bha·sam·pi·lā·po चca अस्स,as·sa देवोde·vo चca एकमेकंe·ka·me·kaṃ फुसायेय्या”ति।phu·sā·yey·yā

“sādhu khvassa, bhante thera, sītako ca vāto vāyeyya, abbhasampilāpo ca assa, devo ca ekamekaṁ phusāyeyyā”ti.

“Wouldn’t it be nice, Honorable Senior, if a cool wind blew, a cloud canopy formed, and a gentle rain drizzled down?”
18

“साधुsā·dhu ख्वस्स,khvas·sa आवुसोā·vu·so महक,ma·ha·ka यंyaṃ सीतकोsī·ta·ko चca वातोvā·to वायेय्य,vā·yey·ya अब्भसम्पिलापोab·bha·sam·pi·lā·po चca अस्स,as·sa देवोde·vo चca एकमेकंe·ka·me·kaṃ फुसायेय्या”ति।phu·sā·yey·yā

“Sādhu khvassa, āvuso mahaka, yaṁ sītako ca vāto vāyeyya, abbhasampilāpo ca assa, devo ca ekamekaṁ phusāyeyyā”ti.

“It would indeed be nice, Reverend Mahaka.”
19

अथa·tha खोkho आयस्माā·yas·mā महकोma·ha·ko तथारूपंta·thā·rū·paṃ इद्धाभिसङ्खारंid·dhā·bhi·saṅ·khā·raṃ अभिसङ्खरिa·bhi·saṅ·kha·ri यथाya·thā सीतकोsī·ta·ko चca वातोvā·to वायि,vā·yi अब्भसम्पिलापोab·bha·sam·pi·lā·po चca अस्स,as·sa देवोde·vo चca एकमेकंe·ka·me·kaṃ फुसि।phu·si

Atha kho āyasmā mahako tathārūpaṁ iddhābhisaṅkhāraṁ abhisaṅkhari yathā sītako ca vāto vāyi, abbhasampilāpo ca assa, devo ca ekamekaṁ phusi.

Then Mahaka used his psychic power to will that a cool wind would blow, a cloud canopy would form, and a gentle rain would drizzle down.
20

अथa·tha खोkho चित्तस्सcit·tas·sa गहपतिनोga·ha·pa·ti·no एतदहोसि:e·ta·da·ho·si

Atha kho cittassa gahapatino etadahosi:

Then Citta thought,
21

“योyo खोkho इमस्मिंi·mas·miṃ भिक्खुसङ्घेbhik·khu·saṅ·ghe सब्बनवकोsab·ba·na·va·ko भिक्खुbhik·khu तस्सायंtas·sā·yaṃ एवरूपोe·va·rū·po इद्धानुभावो”ति।id·dhā·nu·bhā·vo

“yo kho imasmiṁ bhikkhusaṅghe sabbanavako bhikkhu tassāyaṁ evarūpo iddhānubhāvo”ti.

“The most junior mendicant in this Saṅgha has such psychic power!”
22

अथa·tha खोkho आयस्माā·yas·mā महकोma·ha·ko आरामंā·rā·maṃ सम्पापुणित्वाsam·pā·pu·ṇit·vā आयस्मन्तंā·yas·man·taṃ थेरंthe·raṃ एतदवोच:e·ta·da·vo·ca

Atha kho āyasmā mahako ārāmaṁ sampāpuṇitvā āyasmantaṁ theraṁ etadavoca:

When they reached the monastery, Mahaka said to the senior venerable,
23

“अलमेत्तावता,a·la·met·tā·va·tā भन्तेbhan·te थेरा”ति?the·rā

“alamettāvatā, bhante therā”ti?

“Honorable Senior, is that sufficient?”
24

“अलमेत्तावता,a·la·met·tā·va·tā आवुसोā·vu·so महक।ma·ha·ka

“Alamettāvatā, āvuso mahaka.

“That’s sufficient, Reverend Mahaka,
25

Katamettāvatā, āvuso mahaka.

and offered enough.”
27

अथa·tha खोkho थेराthe·rā भिक्खूbhik·khū यथाविहारंya·thā·vi·hā·raṃ अगमंसु।a·ga·maṃ·su

Atha kho therā bhikkhū yathāvihāraṁ agamaṁsu.

Then the senior mendicants entered their dwellings,
28

आयस्मापिā·yas·mā·pi महकोma·ha·ko सकंsa·kaṃ विहारंvi·hā·raṃ अगमासि।a·ga·mā·si

Āyasmāpi mahako sakaṁ vihāraṁ agamāsi.

and Mahaka entered his own dwelling.
29

Then Citta went up to Mahaka, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him,
30

“साधुsā·dhu मे,me भन्ते,bhan·te अय्योay·yo महकोma·ha·ko उत्तरिut·ta·ri मनुस्सधम्मंma·nus·sa·dham·maṃ इद्धिपाटिहारियंid·dhi·pā·ṭi·hā·ri·yaṃ दस्सेतू”ति।das·se·tū

“sādhu me, bhante, ayyo mahako uttari manussadhammaṁ iddhipāṭihāriyaṁ dassetū”ti.

“Sir, please show me a superhuman demonstration of psychic power.”
31

“तेनte·na हिhi त्वं,tvaṃ गहपति,ga·ha·pa·ti आलिन्देā·lin·de उत्तरासङ्गंut·ta·rā·saṅ·gaṃ पञ्ञपेत्वाpañ·ña·pet·vā तिणकलापंti·ṇa·ka·lā·paṃ ओकासेही”ति।o·kā·se·hī

“Tena hi tvaṁ, gahapati, ālinde uttarāsaṅgaṁ paññapetvā tiṇakalāpaṁ okāsehī”ti.

“Well, then, householder, place your upper robe on the porch and spread a handful of grass on it.”
32

“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho citto gahapati āyasmato mahakassa paṭissutvā ālinde uttarāsaṅgaṁ paññapetvā tiṇakalāpaṁ okāsesi.

“Yes, sir,” replied Citta, and did as he was asked.
33

Mahaka entered his dwelling and latched the door. Then he used his psychic power to will that a flame shoot out through the keyhole and the chink in the door-panel, and it burned up the grass but not the upper robe.
34

अथa·tha खोkho चित्तोcit·to गहपतिga·ha·pa·ti उत्तरासङ्गंut·ta·rā·saṅ·gaṃ पप्फोटेत्वाpap·pho·ṭet·vā संविग्गोsaṃ·vig·go लोमहट्ठजातोlo·ma·haṭ·ṭha·jā·to एकमन्तंe·ka·man·taṃ अट्ठासि।aṭ·ṭhā·si

Then Citta shook out his upper robe and stood to one side, shocked and awestruck.

Mahaka left his dwelling and said to Citta,
36

“अलमेत्तावता,a·la·met·tā·va·tā गहपती”ति?ga·ha·pa·tī

“alamettāvatā, gahapatī”ti?

“Is that sufficient, householder?”
37

“अलमेत्तावता,a·la·met·tā·va·tā भन्तेbhan·te महक।ma·ha·ka

“That’s sufficient, sir,

43

“कल्याणंkal·yā·ṇaṃ वुच्चति,vuc·ca·ti गहपती”ति।ga·ha·pa·tī

But Mahaka set his lodgings in order and, taking his bowl and robe, left Macchikāsaṇḍa,
