4.24

Question: Why did he previously think of seats universally for the disciples, but now thinks of food specifically for the bodhisattvas? Explanation: Seats are needed alike by both the great and the small, and therefore he did so universally for them. Regarding food, the śrāvakas have the rule of begging for food, so he did not do so for them. Furthermore, previously he thought of seats universally for the disciples and was rebuked, so now he does not bring them up.
