The Chonicle of the Island - 211 40. anuppattā janā sabbe buddhaseṭṭhaṁ narāsabhaṁ. adhivāsetu me bhagavā saddhiṁ bhikkhugaṇe saha | 41. ajjatanāya bhattena, gacchāma nagaraṁ puraṁ. adhivāseti sambuddho tuṇhī rājassa bhāsitaṁ. 560 | 40-41. All this multitude approached the most excellent Buddha, the highest among men. (The king thus addressed him:) “Consent, o Bhagavat, [199] to dine to-day together with the Bhikkhu fraternity (in my palace); let us go to the town, to the capital.” The Sambuddha agreed to the request of the king by remaining silent. 42. adhivāsanaṁ viditvāna rājasenā saraṭṭhakā pūjāsakkārabahute tadā puraṁ upāgamuṁ. 561 | 42. Having understood his consent, the royal retinue and the people of the kingdom, paying great honour and respect (to the Buddha), then returned to the town. 43. mahā ayaṁ bhikkhusaṅgho, janakāyo anappako, nagarake atisambādhe akatabhūmi pure mama. | 43. (The king thus reflected:) “This fraternity of Bhikkhus is numerous, the crowd of the people is great; there is no place prepared for its reception in this narrow town, in my capital. 44. atthi mayhaṁ bahuyyānaṁ Mahātitthaṁ manoramaṁ asambādhaṁ adūraṭṭhaṁ pabbajitānulomikaṁ 562 | 44. I possess a great pleasure garden, the delightful garden of Mahātittha which is not too narrow nor too distant, which will be convenient for the ascetics – 45. paṭisallānasāruppaṁ paṭirūpaṁ tathāgataṁ tatthāhaṁ buddhapamukhaṁ saṅghaṁ dassāmi dakkhiṇaṁ. | [92] 45. and will be suitable for a retired existence and for the Tathāgata. There I will bestow presents on the Buddha and on the Bhikkhu fraternity. 560 adhivāsesi A Z. 561 pūjāsakkāraṁ katvāna te A B G2, °kkārabahunā te Z, °kkārabahute N, °kkā bahu ca te (va te) F G1. pūjāsakkārabahulā? 562 bahuyyānaṁ F G1 Z n, brahuyyānaṁ A B G2.
The Chonicle of the Island - 212 46. sabbo jano passeyya taṁ buddhaṁ saṅghañ ca dassanaṁ. cattālīsasahassehi bhikkhusaṅghapurakkhato | 47. Kakusandho lokavidū Mahātitthamhi pāpuṇi. patiṭṭhite Mahātitthamhi uyyāne dipaduttame 563 | 46-47. May all people obtain the sight of the Buddha and of the Fraternity.” Omniscient Kakusandha, followed by forty thousand Bhikkhus, arrived at the Mahātittha garden. When the highest among men had entered the Mahātittha garden, – 48. akālapupphehi sañchannā yaṁ kiñci ca latā dumā. suvaṇṇamayabhiṅkāraṁ samādāya mahīpati 564 | 48. the creepers and trees (were covered?) with flowers out of season. The king took a golden water-pot, – 49. onojetvāna Laṅkatthaṁ jalaṁ hatthe akārayi. im’ āhaṁ bhante uyyānaṁ dadāmi buddhapāmukhe. saṅghassa phāsuvihāraṁ rammaṁ senāsanaṁ ahū. 565 | 49. and dedicated (the garden) for the sake (of the welfare) of Laṅkā, by pouring water over the hand (of the Buddha, saying): “I give, o Lord, this garden to the Saṅgha and to the Buddha, its chief.” It was a delightful resting-place, an appropriate residence for the Fraternity. 50. paṭiggahesi uyyānaṁ Kakusandho lokanāyako, pakampi dharaṇī tattha paṭhamaṁ senāsanaṁ tadā. 566 | 50. Kakusandha, the ruler of the world, accepted the garden. At that moment the earth quaked; this was the first resting-place (of the Saṅgha in Laṅkā). 563 patiṭṭhe N, titthite A, saha patiṭṭhite B G Z, saha patiṭṭhe F 564 sañchantaṁ kiñci ca A. – Instead of “yaṁ kiñci” we should expect a preterite ending in -iṁsu. 565 laṁkattha R, laṁtattha C, laṁtatthaṁ M. laṁkataṁ F. – ākiri A. – rammaṁ N, maṁ F, imaṁ Y. 566 ahū A (instead of tadā). Perhaps we should transpose ahū (v. 49), and tadā (v. 50)
