With the Nun Cīrā
एवं मे सुतं—एकं समयं भगवा राजगहे विहरति वेळुवने कलन्दकनिवापे।
Evaṁ me sutaṁ—ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā rājagahe viharati veḷuvane kalandakanivāpe.
So I have heard. At one time the Buddha was staying near Rājagaha, in the Bamboo Grove, the squirrels’ feeding ground.
तेन खो पन समयेन अञ्ञतरो उपासको चीराय भिक्खुनिया चीवरं अदासि। अथ खो चीराय भिक्खुनिया अभिप्पसन्नो यक्खो राजगहे रथिकाय रथिकं सिङ्घाटकेन सिङ्घाटकं उपसङ्कमित्वा तायं वेलायं इमं गाथं अभासि:
Tena kho pana samayena aññataro upāsako cīrāya1 bhikkhuniyā cīvaraṁ adāsi. Atha kho cīrāya bhikkhuniyā abhippasanno yakkho rājagahe rathikāya rathikaṁ siṅghāṭakena siṅghāṭakaṁ upasaṅkamitvā tāyaṁ velāyaṁ imaṁ gāthaṁ abhāsi:
Now at that time a certain lay follower gave a robe to the nun Cīrā. Then a native spirit was so devoted to Cīrā that he went from street to street and from square to square, and on that occasion recited these verses:
“पुञ्ञं वत पसवि बहुं, सप्पञ्ञो वतायं उपासको; यो चीराय अदासि चीवरं, सब्बयोगेहि विप्पमुत्तिया”ति।
“Puññaṁ vata pasavi bahuṁ, Sappañño vatāyaṁ upāsako; Yo cīrāya adāsi cīvaraṁ, Sabbayogehi vippamuttiyā”ti.
“O! He has made so much merit! That lay-follower is so very wise. He gave a robe to Cīrā, who is released from all yokes.”
