### [v2.c27.655](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c27.655)

The story was related in reference to Ānanda. Some monks once wandered all over the Lotus-street to find some lotuses to offer at the Ānanda-bodhi (q.v.). But they found none, and Ānanda, hearing of it, went himself to the Lotus-street and returned with many handfuls of blue lotus. The incident was reported to the Buddha who related the story of the Jātaka.¹
