Here is the continuous narrative: The elder, it is said, having tended to his body early in the day, well robed, took bowl and robe, inspiring faith in devas and humans through his inspiring departures and other deportments, promoting the welfare and happiness of the residents of Nāḷandā, entered for alms. After his meal, having returned from his alms round, he went to the monastery, performed his duties for the Teacher, and when the Teacher had entered the Fragrant Chamber, he paid homage to the Teacher and went to his daytime resting place. There, having the co-residents and pupils perform their duties and then leave, he swept the daytime resting place, spread a piece of hide, cooled his hands and feet with water from a water pitcher, sat down cross-legged with three bends, determined the period of time, and attained the attainment of fruition.
