### [v1.c12.1822](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.1822)

The story was related in reference to the Bodhi-tree planted, at Ānanda's suggestion, by Anāthapiṇḍika, at the entrance to Jetavana, in order that people might worship it while the Buddha was away on tour. As soon as a seedling was planted from the great Bodhi-tree at Gayā, it grew into a tree fifty cubits high, and the Buddha consecrated it by spending one night under it, wrapt in meditation.²
