Thereupon the villagers brought food and presented it to him with due reverence. Taking as much as he required, he went to the Teacher and held out the bowl. "Bring it to me, Tissa," said the Teacher. Extending his hand, he took the bowl and showed it to the Elder, saying, "See, Sāriputta, here is the bowl of your novice." The Elder took the bowl from the Teacher's hands and returned it to the novice, saying, "Go sit down where you are accustomed to sit down with your bowl and eat your meal." > — Eugene Watson Burlingame 1921, Buddhist Legends (Harvard Oriental Series 28–30) - [Previous: 5.15.p17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada!dhammapadatthakatha.5.15.p17) - [Next: 5.15.p19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada!dhammapadatthakatha.5.15.p19) - [Up: 5.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada!dhammapadatthakatha.5.15) ## Translations (1) - [Buddhist Legends (Harvard Oriental Series 28–30)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada!dhammapadatthakatha~en-burlingame.5.15.p37) — Eugene Watson Burlingame 1921, English ## Linked texts (1) - [Dhammapada](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada.75) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada!dhammapadatthakatha.5.15.p18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada!dhammapadatthakatha.5.15.p18) · Pramāṇa
