41.17

佛入舍衛城分衛。身衣有少穿壞。有一婆羅門。見佛衣壞。即其家中得少白㲲。持用施佛。唯願如來當持此納以用補衣。佛即受之。佛與授記。便於當來世。兩阿僧祇百劫之中當得作佛。歡喜而去。國中豪賢長者居士曰。云何世尊小施大報。各為如來破損好㲲作種種衣。過去有佛。名毘鉢尸。時王名曰槃頭。有一大臣。請佛及僧三月供養。佛即許可。時槃頭王白佛言。貪得佛僧三月供養。佛告槃頭。吾先已受彼大臣請。王告臣曰。佛處我國。云卿已請今可讓我。臣答王言。若使大王保我身命。復保如來常住於此。國土常安隱者我乃息意。王更曉曰。卿請一日我復一日。臣便可之。各滿所願。王為如來辦具三衣。復為九萬比丘各作七條衣。時大臣以衣食施佛及僧。則我身是（出賢愚經第十三卷）。

The Buddha entered the city of Śrāvastī for alms. His robe had a slight tear. A brāhmaṇa saw that the Buddha's robe was damaged, went to his house, obtained a small piece of white fine cotton, and offered it to the Buddha, saying, "May the Tathāgata accept this patch to mend his robe." The Buddha accepted it. The Buddha bestowed a prophecy upon him that in a future life, within two asaṃkhyeyas and one hundred kalpas, he would attain Buddhahood. He departed in joy. The eminent nobles, elders, and householders in the kingdom said, "Why does the Bhagavat grant a great reward for a small gift?" Each of them tore up fine cotton to make various robes for the Tathāgata. In the past, there was a Buddha named Vipaśyin. At that time, the king was named Bandhuma. A minister invited that Buddha and the saṅgha to receive offerings for three months. That Buddha consented. King Bandhuma said to that Buddha, "I covet the chance to make offerings to the Buddha and the saṅgha for three months." That Buddha told Bandhuma, "I have already accepted that minister's invitation." The king said to the minister, "The Buddha resides in my kingdom. Even though you have invited him, you should now yield to me." The minister replied to the king, "If the great king can guarantee my life, guarantee that the Tathāgata will always dwell here, and guarantee that the kingdom will always be safe and secure, then I will rest my intent." The king further reasoned with him, "You invite him for one day, and I will invite him for one day." The minister then consented, and each fulfilled his wish. The king prepared the three robes for the Tathāgata, and also made seven-strip robes for each of the ninety thousand bhikṣus. The minister at that time who offered robes and food to the Buddha and the saṅgha was myself (extracted from the Sūtra of the Wise and the Foolish, Fascicle 13).
