BUDDHISM.

Was season ; but I have not given anything which may be 

 proper to bestow. I did not give, not because I had it not, nor 

 because I did not wish to give. When can this be done by 

 the laity with their many duties and cares ? May the illustri- 

 ous Gotamo consent to come with the company of Bbikkhus to 

 partake of food to-morrow f Bhagawa by silence gave consent. 

 Afterwards Bhagawa having declared a doctrinal speech to 

 Weranja Brahman, implanted it in his heart, produced a desire 

 (towards it), and made him satisfied (with it), arose from his 

 seat, and departed. 



Afterwards, when the night had gone, Weranja Brahman 

 having provided proper and suitable food, made known the time 

 to Bhagawa (saying), O Lord, virtuous Gotamo, the meal is 

 ready. Then Bhagawd, in the morning, having robed himself 

 and taken his bowl, and robes, came to the place where Weranja 

 Brahman's dwelling was, and having arrived, sat on the seat 

 provided for him, with the company of the Bhikkhus. Then 

 Weranja Brahman having provided with his own hands food 

 for the Bhikkhus and their chief, Buddha, which food was de- 

 licious, fit, and suitable to be eaten,— when Bhagawa had 

 eaten, and the bowl was put aside, Weranja clothed Bhagawa 

 with three robes, and each of the Bhikkhus with a pair of 

 cloths. Afterwards Bhagawa having declared a doctrinal 

 speech to Weranja Brahman, implanted it in his heart, pro- 

 duced a desire (towards it), and made him satisfied (with it), 

 arose from his seat, and departed. Afterwards Bhagawa hav- 

 ing resided in Weranja as long as he wished, without going to 

 Soreyya, Samkassam, or Kantakujja, came to the place where 

 the river Payaga was, and having arrived and crossed over, 

 came to Benares, and having dwelt as long as he wished there, 

 came to Wesali city, and according to custom, dwelt there, in 

 the Rock Hall in the great jungle near Wesali. 



The Weranja Bana portion is finished.
