1And the moment in which each Bhikkhu received one lump of rice from you, that moment you acquired much merit. You gained the inheritance of heaven.’ Then that newly converted minister thought: ‘Oh, it is good to me! Oh, it is gain to me! I have acquired much merit! I have gained the inheritance of heaven!"—and glad and joyful he rose from his seat, respectfully saluted the Blessed One, and passing round him with his right side towards him, went away. 7. In consequence of that, and on this occasion, the Blessed One, having ordered the fraternity of Bhikkhus to assemble, questioned the Bhikkhus: ‘Is it true, O Bhikkhus; that the Bhikkhus, having been invited to one place, partake of solid ricemilk with other persons ?’ ‘It is true, Lord’ Then the blessed Buddha rebuked those Bhikkhus : ‘ How can these foolish persons, O Bhikkhus, having been invited to one place, partake of solid rice-milk with other persons? This will not do, O Bhikkhus, for converting the unconverted,’ &c. Having rebuked them and delivered a religious discourse, he thus addressed the Bhikkhus: ‘ Let no one, O Bhikkhus, when he is invited to one place, partake of solid rice-milk with other persons. He who does, is to be treated according to the law.’ VI, 26, 3. ON MEDICAMENTS. 93 261, 1, And the Blessed One, after having dwelt at Andhakavinda as long as he thought fit, went forth to Ragagaha, accompanied by a great number of Bhikkhus, by twelve hundred and fifty Bhikkhus. At that time Bela¢tha Ka#éana was travelling on the road from Ragagaha to Andhakavinda with five hundred carts all full of pots of sugar. And the Blessed One saw Belattha Kakkana coming from afar; when he saw him, he left the road, and sat down at the foot of a tree. 2. And Bela¢éha Kakkana went to the place where the Blessed One was; having approached him and respectfully saluted the Blessed One, he stationed himself near him. Standing near him, Belatéha Kakkana said to the Blessed One: ‘I wish, Lord, to give to each Bhikkhu one pot of sugar.’ ‘Well, Kagéana, bring here one pot of sugar.’ Belattha Kakkana accepted this order of the Blessed One (by saying), ‘Yes, Lord,’ took one pot of sugar and went to the place where the Blessed One was; having approached him, he said to the Blessed One: ‘I have brought here, Lord, the pot of sugar; what shall I do with it, Lord ?’ ‘Well, Kaééana, give the sugar to the Bhikkhus.’ 3. Belattha KaksAna accepted this order of the Blessed One (by saying), ‘Yes, Lord,’ gave the 1 See the 33rd P&tittiya Rule about parampara-bhogana (taking food in turn). 04 MAHAVAGGA.

And Bela¢tha KaéAAna, having let the Bhikkhus eat their fill with sugar, said to the Blessed One: ‘The Bhikkhus, Lord, have eaten their fill with sugar, but there is much sugar left over; what shall I do with it, Lord ?’ ‘Well, Ka##ana, give the sugar to the people who eat the remains of (the Bhikkhus’) food,’ &c. ‘Well, Ka&Zana, give the people who eat the remains of (the Bhikkhus’) food as much sugar as they want,’ &c. 5. ‘Well, Kana, let the people who eat the remains of (the Bhikkhus’) food, eat their fill with sugar’ (&c., down to:); some of the people who ate the remains of (the Bhikkhus’) food, filled their VI, 26,8, ’ ON MEDICAMENTS. 95 pots and jars, and filled their baskets and the folds of their dress with it. 6. And Bela¢tha Kafana, having let the people who ate the remains of (the Bhikkhus’) food, eat their fill with sugar, said to the Blessed One: ‘The people, Lord, who eat the remains of (the Bhikkhus’) food, have eaten their fill with sugar, but there is much sugar left over; what shall I do with it, Lord ?’ ‘I see no one, Kafana, in the world of men and gods, in M4ra’s and Brahma’s world, among all beings, Samazas and Brahmamas, gods and men, by whom that sugar, when he has eaten it, can be fully assimilated, save ,by the Tathagata or by a disciple of the Tathagata. Therefore, Kaéé4na, throw that sugar away at a place free from grass, or sink it into water in which there are no living things.’ Belatéha Kakkana accepted this order of the Blessed One (by saying), ‘Yes, Lord,’ and sunk that sugar into water in which there were no living things. 7. And that sugar, when thrown into the water, hissed and bubbled, and steamed, and sent forth smoke. As a ploughshare, which has been heated through the whole day and is thrown into water, hisses and bubbles, and steams, and sends forth smoke, so that sugar, when thrown into the water, hissed and bubbled, steamed, and sent forth smoke. And Bela¢tha KakéAna, terrified and having his hair erect with fear, went to the place where the Blessed One was; having approached him and respectfully saluted the Blessed One, he sat down near him.

When Bela¢‘ha Ka#&ana was sitting near him, 96 MAHAVAGGA. VI, 26, 9. the Blessed One preached to him in due course; that is to say, he talked about the merits obtained by alms-giving, about the duties of morality, about heaven, about the evils, the vanity, and the defilement of lusts, and about the blessings of the abandonment of lusts. When the Blessed One saw that the mind of Belatéha Kakéana was prepared, impressible, free from obstacles (to understanding the Truth), elated, and believing, then he preached what is the principal doctrine of the Buddhas, namely, Suffering, the Cause of suffering, the Cessation of suffering, the Path. Just as a clean cloth free from black specks properly takes the dye, thus Bela¢tha Kak&ana, even while sitting there, obtained the pure and spotless Eye of the Truth (that is, the knowledge): ‘Whatsoever is subject to the condition of origination is subject also to the condition of cessation.’ 9. And Belaééha Ka&Aana, having seen the Truth, having mastered the Truth, having understood the Truth, having penetrated the Truth, having overcome uncertainty, having dispelled all doubts, having gained full knowledge, dependent on nobody else for the knowledge of the doctrine of the Teacher, said to the Blessed One: ‘Glorious, Lord! glorious, Lord! Just as if one should set up, Lord, what had been overturned, or should reveal what had ‘been hidden, or should point out the way to one who had lost his way, or should bring a lamp into the darkness, in order that those who had eyes might see visible things, thus has the Blessed One preached the doctrine in many ways. I take my refuge, Lord, in the Blessed One, and in the Dhamma, and in the fraternity of Bhikkhus; may VI, 28, 1. ON MEDICAMENTS. 97 the Blessed One receive me from this day forth while my life lasts as a disciple who has taken his refuge in him.’ 27. And the Blessed One, wandering from place to place, came to Ragagaha. There the Blessed One dwelt near RAgagaha, in the Ve/uvana, at Kalandakanivapa. At that time the Bhikkhus at Ragagaha had plenty of sugar. The Bhikkhus feared to offend (and thought): ‘The Blessed One has allowed the eating of sugar only to the sick and not to the healthy,’ and therefore they did not eat sugar. They told this thing to the Blessed One. ‘I allow, O Bhikkhus, to the sick the eating of sugar, and to the healthy the drinking of sugarwater.’ 281, 1. And the Blessed One, after having dwelt at Ragagaha as long as he thought fit, went forth to Paéaligama, accompanied by a great number of Bhikkhus, by twelve hundred and fifty Bhikkhus. Wandering from place to place the Blessed One came to PAsaligdma.
