Jinacaritaṁ - The Life of the Victorious Buddha - 121 udārānisaṁsaṁ vihārappadāne kathetuṁ samattho vinā bhūripaññaṁ tilokekanāthaṁ naro kosi yutto mukhānaṁ sahassehi nekehi cāpi [434] Vihāra-ppadāne udāra-ānisaṁsaṁ Bhūri-Paññaṁ Ti-Loka-Eka-Nāthaṁ vinā, mukhānaṁ nekehi sahassehi yutto ca-api ko naro samattho kathetuṁ āsi? Except for the One of Extensive Wisdom, the Sole Protector of the Three Worlds, what man would be able to talk about the great advantages of giving a monastery, even if he harnessed countless thousands of mouths? iti vipulayaso so tassa dhammaṁ kathetvā api sakalajanānaṁ mānase tosayanto paramamadhuranādaṁ dhammabheriṁ mahantaṁ viharati paharanto tattha tatthūpagantvā [435] Iti so Vipula-Yaso tassa Dhammaṁ kathetvā, sakala-janānaṁ api mānase tosayanto, tattha tattha-upagantvā parama-madhura-nādaṁ mahantaṁ Dhamma-bheriṁ paharanto viharati. Thus He of Extensive Fame, having taught the Dhamma to (Anāthapiṇḍika), and also rejoicing the minds of all the people, having gone here and there, lived beating the great Dhamma drum, which has a supremely sweet sound. [Vassānakathā] [The Story of the Rains Retreats] evaṁ tilokahitadena mahādayena lokuttamena paribhuttapadesapantiṁ niccaṁ surāsuramahoragarakkhasādi sampūjitaṁ aham-idāni nidassayissaṁ [436] Evaṁ niccaṁ Sura-Asura-Mahā-Uraga-Rakkhasa-ādi sampūjitaṁ, Ti-Loka-Hitadena Mahā-Dayena Loka-Uttamena paribhutta-padesa-pantiṁ ahaṁ idāni nidassayissaṁ. So now I will show the range of places used (for the Rains Retreat) by the One who Gives Benefit to the Three Worlds, the One of Great Pity, the Supreme One in the World, whom the Suras, Asuras, Great Snakes (Nāgas), Rakkhasas, and so forth always worshipped.
Jinacaritaṁ - The Life of the Victorious Buddha - 122 saddhammaraṁsinikarehi jinaṁsumāli veneyyapaṅkajavanāni vikāsayanto vāsaṁ akāsi pavaro paṭhamamhi vasse bārāṇasimhi nagare migakānanamhi [437] Pavaro Jina-aṁsu-māli Saddhamma-raṁsi-nikarehi veneyya-paṅkaja-vanāni vikāsayanto, paṭhamamhi Vasse, Bārāṇasimhi nagare Miga-Kānanamhi vāsaṁ akāsi. The Excellent, Victorious (Buddha) Sun, dwelt for the first Rains Retreat near the city of Banaras, in the Deer Grove, illuminating those who were responsive, who were like a lotus-wood, 158 with a multitude of rays of the True Dhamma. 159 nānappakāraratanāpaṇapantivīthi ramme pure pavararājagahābhidhāne vāsaṁ akāsi dutiye tatiye catutthe vasse pi kantataraveḷuvane pi nātho [438] Nātho nāna-ppakāra-ratana-āpaṇa-panti-vīthi ramme pavara-Rājagaha-abhidhāne pure kanta-tara-Veḷuvane pi, dutiye tatiye catutthe Vasse pi, vāsaṁ akāsi. The Protector dwelt for the second, third, and also the fourth Rains Retreat in the very agreeable Bamboo Wood, near the delightful and most excellent city Rājagaha by name, which has streets full of shops having various treasures. bhūpālamoḷimaṇiraṁsivirājamānaṁ vesālināmaviditaṁ nagaraṁ surammaṁ nissāya sakyamunikesari pañcamamhi vassamhi vāsam-akarittha mahāvanasmiṁ [439] Sakya-Muni-Kesarī, pañcamamhi Vassamhi, Bhū-pāla-moḷi-maṇi-raṁsi-virājamānaṁ su-rammaṁ nagaraṁ Vesāli-nāma-viditaṁ nissāya Mahā-Vanasmiṁ vāsaṁ akarittha. The Sage-Lion of the Sakyas, in the fifth Rains Retreat, has dwelt in the Great Wood, which was near to the very delightful city known by the name of Vesālī, which was resplendent with the rays of the crown-jewels of (many) Princes. 160 158 The lotus is known to be responsive to the sun’s course through the sky. 159 Including the first two discourses: Dhammacakkappavattanasuttaṁ and Anattalakkaṇasuttaṁ. 160 It was here that Mahāpajāpatī Gotamī obtained permission to found the Bhikkhuṇī order during the Buddha’s fifth rains Retreat.
