The Long Āgama Sūtra 23.43

23.43

佛告婆羅門：「爾時，剎利王水澆頭種，以十五日月滿時出彼新舍，於舍前露地然大火𧂐，手執油瓶注於火上，唱言：『與，與。』時，彼王夫人聞王以十五日月滿時出新舍，於舍前然大火𧂐，手執油瓶注於火上，唱言：『與，與。』彼夫人、婇女多持財寶，來詣王所，而白王言：『此諸雜寶，助王為祀。』婆羅門！彼王尋告夫人、婇女言：『止！止！汝便為供養已，我自大有財寶，足以祭祀。』諸夫人、婇女自生念言：『我等不宜將此寶物還於宮中，若王於東方設大祀時，當用佐助。』婆羅門！其後王於東方設大祀時，夫人、婇女即以此寶物助設大祀。」

The Buddha told the priest, “That water-anointed warrior king left his new home on the fifteenth-day full moon and lit a large bonfire on open ground in front of it. He held up a vessel of oil, poured it into the fire, and called out, ‘I offer this! I offer this!’

“The king’s wife heard that the king had left his new home on the fifteenth-day full moon, lit a large bonfire in front of it, held up a vessel of oil, poured it on the fire, and called out, ‘I offer this! I offer this!’ His wife and concubines brought many treasures to the king and told him, ‘These assorted treasures are to help the king conduct his sacrifice.’

“Priest, that king immediately told his wife and concubines, ‘Stop, stop! You have supported it, and my own treasure is great. It’ll be sufficient for the ritual sacrifice.’

“His wife and concubines then thought to themselves, ‘It wouldn’t be right for us to take these treasures back to the palace. If the king holds a large sacrifice to the east, then we’ll go and contribute to it.’

“Priest, later the king prepared a large sacrifice to the east, and his wife and concubines then provided these treasures to it.
