\*\*Magadhakhetta.\*\*—Mention is made in the books of the Magadhakhetta, probably an extensive rice-field which at once caught the eye on account of its terraces. It could be seen from the Indasāla-guhā.¹ The contour of the field struck the Buddha’s imagination and he asked Ānanda to design a robe of the same pattern. Ānanda did this very successfully, and this pattern has been adopted for the robes of members of the Order ever since.²
