[254] King Seniya Bimbisāra of Magadha heard: "It is said that the householder Anāthapiṇḍika has invited the Saṅgha with the Buddha at its head for tomorrow's meal." Then King Seniya Bimbisāra of Magadha said this to the householder Anāthapiṇḍika: "It is said, householder, that you have invited the Saṅgha with the Buddha at its head for tomorrow, and you are a visitor here. I will give you, householder, the funds with which you may prepare the meal for the Saṅgha with the Buddha at its head." "Enough, sire. I have the funds with which I shall prepare the meal for the Saṅgha with the Buddha at its head."
