pahūtañ-ca sūkaramaddavaṁ,
and an abundance of tender pork, 183
The Fourth Chapter for Recitation - 154
Bhagavato kālaṁ ārocāpesi: “Kālo Bhante niṭṭhitaṁ bhattan.”-ti
had the time announced to the Gracious One, (saying): “It is time, reverend Sir, the meal
is ready.”
Atha kho Bhagavā, pubbaṇhasamayaṁ nivāsetvā,
Then the Gracious One, having dressed in the morning time,
pattacīvaram-ādāya, saddhiṁ Bhikkhusaṅghena,
after picking up his bowl and robe, together with the Community of monks,
yena Cundassa Kammāraputtassa nivesanaṁ tenupasaṅkami,
approached Cunda the Smith’s residence,
upasaṅkamitvā, paññatte āsane nisīdi.
and after approaching, he sat down on the prepared seat.
Nisajja kho Bhagavā Cundaṁ Kammāraputtaṁ āmantesi:
Having sat down, the Gracious One addressed Cunda the Smith, (saying):
“Yaṁ te Cunda sūkaramaddavaṁ paṭiyattaṁ tena maṁ parivisa,
“Serve me with the tender pork you have prepared, Cunda,
yaṁ panaññaṁ khādanīyaṁ bhojanīyaṁ paṭiyattaṁ
* but serve the Community of monks with the other foodstuffs
tena Bhikkhusaṅghaṁ parivisā.” ti
which have been prepared.”
“Evaṁ Bhante,” ti kho Cundo Kammāraputto Bhagavato paṭissutvā,
“Very well, reverend Sir”, said Cunda the Smith, and after replying to the Gracious One,
yaṁ ahosi sūkaramaddavaṁ paṭiyattaṁ, tena Bhagavantaṁ parivisi,
he served the Gracious One with the tender pork that had been prepared,
yaṁ panaññaṁ khādanīyaṁ bhojanīyaṁ paṭiyattaṁ tena Bhikkhusaṅghaṁ parivisi.
but served the Community of monks with the other foodstuffs which had been prepared.
183 Sūkaramaddavan-ti nātitaruṇassa nātijiṇṇassa ekajeṭṭhakasūkarassa pavattamaṁsaṁ; tender
pork means fresh meat from a great pig that is not too young nor too old. Elsewhere in the
Commentaries there are some further suggestions: that it was made of soft rice cooked with the
five products of a cow; an elixer of life (rasāyanavidhi); bamboo shoots trampled by pigs; or
mushrooms.
