[553] Then Citta the householder, having delighted in and rejoiced at the Venerable Isidatta's words, with his own hand served and satisfied the elder bhikkhus with excellent hard and soft food (khādanīya, bhojanīya). Then the elder bhikkhus, when they had finished eating and had withdrawn their hands from their bowls, rose from their seats and departed. Then the venerable elder said this to the Venerable Isidatta: "It is good, friend Isidatta, that this question occurred to you; this question did not occur to me. Therefore, friend Isidatta, whenever such a question should come up again in some other way, you yourself should answer it there." Then the Venerable Isidatta, having set his lodging in order, took his bowl and robe and departed from Macchikāsaṇḍa. And when he departed from Macchikāsaṇḍa, he was gone for good; he never returned. The third [sutta].
