She brought with her a single pint pot of rice and three crystals. The rice-pot was never exhausted; whenever a meal was desired, the rice was put in a boiler and the boiler set over the crystals; the heat of the crystals went out as soon as the rice was cooked. The same thing happened with curries.¹⁴ Food never ran short in Uttarakuru; once when there was a famine in Verañjā and the Buddha and his monks were finding it difficult to get alms, we find Moggallāna suggesting that they should go to Uttarakuru for alms.¹⁵ The clothes worn by the inhabitants resembled divine robes.¹⁶ - [Previous: v1.c9.388](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c9.388) - [Next: v1.c9.390](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c9.390) - [Up: v1.c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c9.389](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c9.389) · Pramāṇa
