「國大夫人名韋提希,恭敬大王,澡浴清淨以酥蜜和[麩-夫+少]用塗其身,諸瓔珞中盛蒲桃漿,密以上王。」韋提希,此翻思惟,先受此名,即為今日請觀之讖。浴身令淨,[麩-夫+少]密塗身;瓔珞中空,可盛果漿。潛入深室,故云密也。三、王請戒法,又三:初、王陳目連;二、目連應機;三、佛遣富那說法。初,王請目連。
"The Great Queen of the state, named Vaidehī, revering the Great King, bathed cleanly, smeared her body with roasted flour mixed with ghee and honey, filled her garlands with grape juice, and secretly presented them to the king." "Vaidehī" is translated here as "Contemplation." Having received this name earlier, it served as an omen for her requesting the contemplations today. She bathed her body to make it pure, and secretly smeared her body with the flour paste; the garlands were hollow inside and could hold the fruit juice. Sneaking into the deep chamber, it is therefore called "secretly." Third, the king requests the precepts, which again has three parts: 1. the king speaks of Maudgalyāyana; 2. Maudgalyāyana responds to the capacity; 3. the Buddha sends Pūrṇa to preach the Dharma. First, the king requests Maudgalyāyana.
