[24] Thus have I heard. At one time the Blessed One was dwelling among the Sakyans at Kapilavatthu, in the Nigrodhārāma. Now at that time a new assembly hall (santhāgāra) had recently been built for the Sakyans of Kapilavatthu, and it had not yet been occupied by any ascetic or brahmin, or by any human being at all. Then the Sakyans of Kapilavatthu approached the Blessed One; having approached, they paid homage to the Blessed One and sat down to one side. Seated to one side, the Sakyans of Kapilavatthu said this to the Blessed One: "Venerable sir, here a new assembly hall has recently been built for the Sakyans of Kapilavatthu, and it has not yet been occupied by any ascetic or brahmin, or by any human being at all. Venerable sir, may the Blessed One use it first; when it has been used first by the Blessed One, afterwards the Sakyans of Kapilavatthu will use it. That would be for the lasting welfare and happiness of the Sakyans of Kapilavatthu." The Blessed One consented by silence.
Then the Sakyans of Kapilavatthu, having understood the Blessed One's consent, rose from their seats, paid homage to the Blessed One, and, having circumambulated him keeping him on their right, went to the new assembly hall. Having arrived, they had the assembly hall spread with coverings throughout, had seats prepared, had a water-pot set in place, and had an oil lamp put up; then they approached the Blessed One, and having approached, they paid homage to the Blessed One and stood to one side. Standing to one side, the Sakyans of Kapilavatthu said this to the Blessed One: "Venerable sir, the assembly hall has been spread with coverings throughout, seats have been prepared, a water-pot has been set in place, and an oil lamp has been put up. Now, venerable sir, let the Blessed One do as he thinks fit."
