She had made a vow to the tree, and her wish having been granted, she takes her slave-girl, Puṇṇā, and goes to the tree prepared to fulfil her promise. They take Gotama to the Tree-god, come in person to accept her offering of milk-rice; the offering is made in a golden bowl and he takes it joyfully. Five dreams¹⁷ he had the night before convince Gotama that he will that day become the Buddha. It is the full-moon day of Visākha; he bathes at Suppatittha in the Nerañjarā, eats the food and launches the bowl up stream, where it sinks to the abode of the Nāga king, Kāla (Mahākāla). - [Previous: v1.c14.921](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c14.921) - [Next: v1.c14.923](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c14.923) - [Up: v1.c14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c14) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c14.922](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c14.922) · Pramāṇa
