2.81

時,菴婆婆梨女即於其夜種種供辦,明日時到,世尊即與千二百五十比丘整衣持鉢,前後圍遶,詣彼請所,就座而坐。時,菴婆婆梨女即設上饌,供佛及僧。食訖去鉢,并除机案。時,女手執金瓶,行澡水畢,前白佛言:「此毘耶離城所有園觀,我園最勝,今以此園貢上如來,哀愍我故,願垂納受。」

That night, Āmrapālī prepared a variety of offerings. When morning arrived, the Bhagavān went to the place of her invitation surrounded by 1,250 monks who had adjusted their robes and carried their bowls. They prepared seats and sat down.

Lady Āmrapālī then brought out fine dishes and offered them to the Buddha and the Saṅgha. When they were done with the meal, she took their bowls and cleared the table. She held a gold jar for them to wash up. When they were done, she went before the Buddha and said, “This city of Vaiśālī has scenic parks, but my park is the best of them. Now, I donate this park to the Tathāgata. Please let him accept this out of compassion for me.”
