[44] Now at that time a rag-robe (paṃsukūla) had come into the Blessed One's possession. Then it occurred to the Blessed One: "Where, now, shall I wash this rag-robe?" Then Sakka, lord of the devas, knowing with his own mind the reflection in the Blessed One's mind, dug a lotus pond with his hand and said to the Blessed One: "Here, venerable sir, let the Blessed One wash the rag-robe." Then it occurred to the Blessed One: "On what, now, shall I scrub the rag-robe?" Then Sakka, lord of the devas, knowing with his own mind the reflection in the Blessed One's mind, set down a great stone slab: "Here, venerable sir, let the Blessed One scrub the rag-robe." Then it occurred to the Blessed One: "Taking hold of what, now, shall I climb out?" Then the deity dwelling in the kakudha tree, knowing with its own mind the reflection in the Blessed One's mind, bent down a branch: "Here, venerable sir, taking hold of this, let the Blessed One climb out." Then it occurred to the Blessed One: "On what, now, shall I spread out the rag-robe?" Then Sakka, lord of the devas, knowing with his own mind the reflection in the Blessed One's mind, set down a great stone slab: "Here, venerable sir, let the Blessed One spread out the rag-robe."
Then Uruvelakassapa the matted-hair ascetic, when that night had passed, approached the Blessed One; having approached, he said to the Blessed One: "It is time, great ascetic, the meal is ready. But how is it, great ascetic — formerly there was no lotus pond here, and now there is a lotus pond here; formerly these stones were not set down here — by whom were these stones set down? Formerly the branch of this kakudha tree was not bent down, and now the branch is bent down?"
"Here, Kassapa, a rag-robe had come into my possession. Then, Kassapa, it occurred to me: 'Where, now, shall I wash this rag-robe?' Then, Kassapa, Sakka, lord of the devas, knowing with his own mind the reflection in my mind, dug a lotus pond with his hand and said to me: 'Here, venerable sir, let the Blessed One wash the rag-robe.' This is that lotus pond, dug by the hand of a non-human being. Then, Kassapa, it occurred to me: 'On what, now, shall I scrub the rag-robe?' Then, Kassapa, Sakka, lord of the devas, knowing with his own mind the reflection in my mind, set down a great stone slab: 'Here, venerable sir, let the Blessed One scrub the rag-robe.' This is that stone, set down by a non-human being. Then, Kassapa, it occurred to me: 'Taking hold of what, now, shall I climb out?' Then, Kassapa, the deity dwelling in the kakudha tree, knowing with its own mind the reflection in my mind, bent down a branch: 'Here, venerable sir, taking hold of this, let the Blessed One climb out.' This is that kakudha tree, as if saying, 'Reach out your hand.' Then, Kassapa, it occurred to me: 'On what, now, shall I spread out the rag-robe?' Then, Kassapa, Sakka, lord of the devas, knowing with his own mind the reflection in my mind, set down a great stone slab: 'Here, venerable sir, let the Blessed One spread out the rag-robe.' This is that stone, set down by a non-human being."
Then it occurred to Uruvelakassapa the matted-hair ascetic: "The great ascetic is truly of great psychic power, of great might, in that even Sakka, lord of the devas, renders him service; but still he is certainly not an arahant (arahā) as I am."
Then the Blessed One, having eaten the meal of Uruvelakassapa the matted-hair ascetic, dwelt on in that same forest grove.
