Pokkharasāti lives off an endowment provided by King Pasenadi of Kosala.

Tassa rājā pasenadi kosalo sammukhībhāvampi na dadāti.
But the king won’t even grant him an audience face to face.
2.6.3
Yadāpi tena manteti, tirodussantena manteti.
When he consults, he does so behind a curtain.
2.6.4
Yassa kho pana, ambaṭṭha, dhammikaṃ payātaṃ bhikkhaṃ paṭiggaṇheyya, kathaṃ tassa rājā pasenadi kosalo sammukhībhāvampi na dadeyya.
Why wouldn’t the king grant a face to face audience with someone who’d receive his legitimate presentation of food?

Passa, ambaṭṭha, yāva aparaddhañca te idaṃ ācariyassa brāhmaṇassa pokkharasātissa.
See, Ambaṭṭha, how your tutor Pokkharasāti has wronged you.
