When he heard that the Buddha was coming, he sent for his two sons and gave orders for various foods to be collected to feed the Buddha and the twelve hundred and fifty monks. The Buddha arrived in the evening and took up his residence in Ātumā. All night long Subhadda went about giving instructions regarding the preparation of the food. In the morning of the next day the Buddha went out for alms, and Subhadda approached him and invited him to partake of the food which he had prepared. But the Buddha questioned him, and, discovering what he had done, refused to accept the meal, forbidding the monks to do so too. This angered Subhadda, and he awaited an opportunity of expressing his disapproval of the Buddha. This opportunity came when he heard of the Buddha’s death.² - [Previous: v2.c36.4205](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.4205) - [Next: v2.c36.4207](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.4207) - [Up: v2.c36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.4206](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.4206) · Pramāṇa
