[344] Now on that occasion the Venerable Ānanda, together with many bhikkhus, was engaged in making robes at the dwelling of Ghaṭāya the Sakyan. Then in the evening, the Blessed One rose from seclusion and approached the dwelling of Ghaṭāya the Sakyan; having approached, he sat down on the seat that had been prepared. Having sat down, the Blessed One addressed the Venerable Ānanda: "Ānanda, many resting places have been prepared at the dwelling of Kāḷakhemaka the Sakyan; are many bhikkhus dwelling there?" "Venerable sir, many resting places have been prepared at the dwelling of Kāḷakhemaka the Sakyan; many bhikkhus are dwelling there. It is the season for making robes for us, venerable sir."
