Summary: accompanied by a great brotherhood of bhikkhus went to the place where the king was, and sat down on the seat prepared for him. And when the Blessed One had washed his feet, and had taken his place on the couch, the king approached the Blessed One, and sat down respectfully by his side. And when he was thus sitting, the King Bimbisara spoke thus to the Blessed One: ‘I give, Lord, this park to the Brotherhood of Bhikkhus with the Buddha at their head.’ Then the Blessed One accepted the gift in silence. And when the Blessed One had dwelt as long as he pleased at Uruvela, he went to Gaya-sisa. On his way to Gaya-sisa he met in the pass of the Gaya-mountains a grass-cutter named Sona. And Sona, the grass-cutter, when he saw the Blessed One afar off, said to the Blessed One: ‘Too far, good Gotama: too far, good Gotama; the ground is rough, and full of pebbles,’ And a second and a third time did Sona, the grass-cutter, repeat the words. Then the Blessed Was the Bodhisattva, Gotama, after some period of time, went on alone to seek the Truth. And he sat down at the foot of the Ajapdla Banyan-tree in the vicinity of Uruvela. And he settled there, resolving that he would not change from that seat so long as he did not become awakened or did not completely fathom the Truth. And there the Bodhisattva, Gotama, dwelt even to the end of the seventh day, sunk in deep thought and meditating. And when the seventh day had elapsed, Mara, the Evil One, approached the Bodhisatta in the form of a huge cloud, and causing a great tempest of rain, wind, and darkness to arise in that place, he showered rocks and stones, mountains and trees, and all things that could cause fear and fright. But the Bodhisatta, Gotama, felt no fear, and the raindrops falling on his skin immediately became white pearls, which slipped down from his body to the ground. After this the Evil One, the enemy of the Truth, removed the tempest of rain, and descending to the outer circle, ADMISSION TO THE ORDER OF BHKKHU& 19 appeared in the form of a giant devil, approaching the Bodhisatta, Gotama, with words of menace, and speaking thus to the Bodhisatta: ‘Thou wilt never become awakened, Gotama, under this Ajapdla tree. Art thou not cold and benumbed, Gotama, under this great shower of rain, wind, and darkness? Why dost thou not rise from thy seat?’ And when the Evil One, the enemy of the Truth, had thus spoken to the Bodhisatta, Gotama, he, the Bodhisatta, replied to the Evil One, speaking thus: ‘O Demon! I desire never to rise up from this seat until I have fully developed myself, until I have attained to supreme knowledge and wisdom, until I have freed myself from all doubt, till the Truth has been revealed unto me, neither from fear nor alarm. Know, therefore, O Evil One, that thou shalt not stop me in my meditations, nor cause me to rise from my place.’ And when the Bodhisatta, Gotama, had thus spoken, the Evil One, the enemy of the Truth, left him in despair, knowing that he could not disturb him. Thus meditating, and firm in his resolve, the Piti refers mainly to joy connected with the contemplation of the peace and happiness enjoyed by the Pathikaner and the Aritekenin, even in their present existence.    "Thus in the Kullavagga. Here the Bhikkhus are seen in concluding for themselves the formal recitation of the Patimokkha, which is done in the tone of a choral recitation.    " The automatic repetition of the Bijas to the end of this account in Wilson's edition is too lacking in spirit, and therefore should not be used.
