Teaching, said to the Gracious One: “May the Gracious One consent,
reverend Sir, to me (offering him) a meal on the morrow, together
with the Community of monks.”
The Gracious One consented by maintaining silence. Then the
courtesan Ambapālī, having understood the Gracious One's consent,
after rising from her seat, worshipping and circumambulating the
Gracious One, went away.
The Licchavīs from Vesālī heard: “The Gracious One, it seems, had
reached Vesālī and is living near Vesālī in Ambapālī's Wood.”
Then those Licchavīs, after having (many) great and august vehicles
prepared, and mounting (those) great and august vehicles, departed
with those great and august vehicles from Vesālī. There some of the
Licchavīs were blue, having a blue appearance, with blue clothes and
blue decorations; some of the Licchavīs were yellow, having a yellow
appearance, with yellow clothes and yellow decorations; some of the
Licchavīs were red, having a red appearance, with red clothes and red
decorations; some of the Licchavīs were white, having a white
appearance, with white clothes and white decorations.
