[131] Then Citta the householder, having learned of the elder bhikkhus' acceptance, rose from his seat, paid homage to the elder bhikkhus, circumambulated them keeping his right side toward them, and approached the venerable Sudhamma. Having approached, he paid homage to the venerable Sudhamma and stood to one side. Standing to one side, Citta the householder said this to the venerable Sudhamma: "Venerable sir, may master Sudhamma consent to accept a meal from me tomorrow, together with the elders."
Then the venerable Sudhamma thought: "Formerly, whenever this Citta the householder wished to invite the Saṅgha, or a group, or an individual, he would not invite the Saṅgha, or a group, or an individual without first consulting me. But now, without consulting me, he has invited the elder bhikkhus. This Citta the householder is now hostile toward me; he is indifferent to me, disaffected toward me." And he said this to Citta the householder: "Enough, householder; I do not consent."
A second time Citta the householder said this to the venerable Sudhamma: "Venerable sir, may master Sudhamma consent to accept a meal from me tomorrow, together with the elders."
"Enough, householder; I do not consent."
A third time Citta the householder said this to the venerable Sudhamma: "Venerable sir, may master Sudhamma consent to accept a meal from me tomorrow, together with the elders."
"Enough, householder; I do not consent."
Then Citta the householder thought: "What will master Sudhamma do to me, whether he consents or does not consent?" And having paid homage to the venerable Sudhamma and circumambulated him keeping his right side toward him, he departed.
