[486] Thus have I heard. At one time the Blessed One was dwelling among the Bhaggas at Susumāragira, in the deer park in the Bhesakaḷā Grove. Now at that time a palace named Kokanuda belonging to Prince Bodhi had recently been built, and it had not yet been dwelt in by any ascetic or brahmin or by any human being at all. Then Prince Bodhi addressed the brahmin student Sañjikāputta: "Come, friend Sañjikāputta, go to the Blessed One; having approached, pay homage in my name with your head at the Blessed One's feet, and ask whether he is free from affliction and free from illness, buoyant, strong, and dwelling in comfort, saying: 'Venerable sir, Prince Bodhi pays homage with his head at the Blessed One's feet, and asks whether the Blessed One is free from affliction and free from illness, buoyant, strong, and dwelling in comfort.' And say this: 'Venerable sir, may the Blessed One, together with the Saṅgha of bhikkhus, consent to accept tomorrow's meal from Prince Bodhi.'"
"Yes, sir," the brahmin student Sañjikāputta replied to Prince Bodhi, and he went to the Blessed One; having approached, he exchanged greetings with the Blessed One, and when the courteous and memorable talk was concluded, he sat down at one side.
