[49] Setting at Sāvatthī. "Bhikkhus, I wish to go into seclusion (paṭisallāna) for three months. I am not to be approached by anyone, except by the one who brings the almsfood (piṇḍapāta)."
"Yes, venerable sir," those bhikkhus replied to the Blessed One. And indeed no one approached the Blessed One, except the one who brought the almsfood.
