CHULAVAGGA (THE MINOR SECTION)
SIXTH KHANDHAKA (ON DWELLINGS AND FURNITURE)
Chapter-9.
1. Now the Lord Buddha, proceeding on his journey, arrived in due course at Savatthi; and there.
at Savatthi, the Lord Buddha stayed in the Jetavana, the park of Anatha Pindika. Then Anatha Pindika the householder [invited the Lord Buddha for the morrow's meal, and when the meal was over, he said to the Lord Buddha]:
'What, Lord, shall I do with regard to the Jetavana?'
You may dedicate it, O householder, to the use of the Sangha of the four directions either now here present, or hereafter to arrive.'
'Even so, Lord,' said Anatha Pindika the householder in assent to the Lord Buddha, and he did so.
2. Then the Lord Buddha gave thanks to Anatha Pindika the householder in these verses. [Here follow the same verses as were used above in VI, 1, 5 on the presentation of the Jetavana.]
