At one time the Buddha was staying near Vesālī, at the Great Wood, in the hall with the peaked roof.

Vesāliyaṁ piṇḍāya caritvā pacchābhattaṁ piṇḍapātapaṭikkanto āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ āmantesi:

Then, after the meal, on his return from almsround, he addressed Venerable Ānanda:
7

“गण्हाहि,gaṇ·hā·hi आनन्द,ā·nan·da निसीदनं।ni·sī·da·naṃ

Atha kho bhagavā yena cāpālaṁ cetiyaṁ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi.

Then the Buddha went up to the Cāpāla Shrine, where he sat down on the seat spread out.

When he was seated he said to Venerable Ānanda:

Then the Buddha said to Venerable Ānanda,

“Yes, sir,” replied Ānanda. He rose from his seat, bowed, and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on his right, before sitting at the root of a tree close by.

And then, not long after Ānanda had left, Māra the Wicked went up to the Buddha, stood to one side, and said to him:

‘Wicked One, I shall not be fully extinguished until I have monk disciples who are competent, educated, assured, learned, have memorized the teachings, and practice in line with the principle of the teaching.
