Some time afterwards, when the Lord, sojourning in the Bambu grove, was preaching the Law, Devadatta rose from his seat, and reverentially made the proposal that the Lord, on account of his age, should leave the leadership of the Congregation of monks to him, Devadatta⁴. But on this request he received, three times over, a flat refusal. From that moment Devadatta harboured evil designs against the Lord.
