16.1.8

爾時,孫陀利釋種女聞天語已,歡喜踊躍,不能自勝,便自莊嚴,修飾房舍,敷好坐具,作倡妓樂,如難陀在家無異。爾時,王波斯匿集在普會講堂,聞難陀比丘還捨法服,習于家業。所以然者,有天在空中告其妻曰。是時,王波斯匿聞是語已,便懷愁憂,即乘駕白象,往至彼園。到已,便入華象池中,遙見尊者難陀,便前至難陀所,頭面禮足,在一面坐。

The Śakyan woman Sundarī rejoiced and celebrated when she heard what that god said, and she was unable to control herself. She dressed herself up, decorated the rooms of her house, prepared fine seats, and danced to music, just as she had when Nanda lived at home.

Then, King Prasenajit was attending a meeting in his discussion hall when he heard that the monk Nanda had renounced the Dharma robes and would return to working for his family. The reason for this was that a god in the sky had told this to Nanda’s wife.

When he heard this said, King Presenajit felt aggrieved. He rode his white elephant to that park. Arriving there, he waded into Lake Nāgapuṣpa. Seeing him from afar, he walked up to Venerable Nanda, bowed his head at his feet, and then sat to one side.
