According to the Apadāna,⁶ the Bodhisatta was born of a noble house in the time of Phussa Buddha, and, once, seeing the monks eating good food, he had reviled them and asked them to eat oats (yava). It was for this reason the Buddha was condemned to eat yava during three months at Verañjā. - [Previous: v2.c35.1964](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.1964) - [Next: v2.c35.1966](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.1966) - [Up: v2.c35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.1965](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.1965) · Pramāṇa
