The First Chapter for Recitation - 51 [12: Pāṭaligāmamāpanaṁ] 78 [Building up Pāṭaligāma] Tena kho pana samayena Sunīdha-Vassakārā Magadhamahāmattā Now at that time the Magadhan chief ministers Sunīdha and Vassakāra 79 Pāṭaligāme nagaraṁ māpenti Vajjīnaṁ paṭibāhāya. were building up a city at Pāṭaligāma to ward off the Vajjians. 80 Tena kho pana samayena sambahulā Devatāyo, sahassasahasseva, Then at that time a great many Divinities, thousands upon thousands, Pāṭaligāme vatthūni parigaṇhanti. were taking possession of grounds at Pāṭaligāma. Yasmiṁ padese mahesakkhā Devatā vatthūni parigaṇhanti, In that place where the great Divinities took possession of grounds, mahesakkhānaṁ tattha raññaṁ rājamahāmattānaṁ cittāni there the powerful rulers and great royal ministers’ minds namanti nivesanāni māpetuṁ. inclined to building up residences. Yasmiṁ padese majjhimā Devatā vatthūni parigaṇhanti, In that place where the middling Divinities took possession of grounds, majjhimānaṁ tattha raññaṁ rājamahāmattānaṁ cittāni there the middling rulers and middling royal ministers’ minds namanti nivesanāni māpetuṁ. inclined to building up residences. Yasmiṁ padese nīcā Devatā vatthūni parigaṇhanti, In that place where the lower Divinities took possession of grounds, 78 cf. Pāṭaligāmiyasuttaṁ, Part Two (Ud. 8-6); Bhessajjakkhandakaṁ: Sunīdhavassakāravatthu, Vin. Mhv. 1.228-230. 79 Other versions of this discourse do not mention Sunīdha. According to the Commentary they were both brahmins, not nobles, which shows that the class system was not strictly applied at this time. 80 Remember the dispute between the Magadhans and the Vajjīs mentioned above was over control of the trade along the River Ganges. Pāṭaligāma stood just across the waters from the Vajjī territories, and was strategically placed on the bank of that great River. Later the capital of Magadha was to move from Rājagaha (which was somewhat inland) to Pāṭaligāma (a.k.a. Pāṭaliputta).
