Residing in the auspicious mansion. Then, the Venerable Mahakashyapa arose from the correct samadhi of inward and outward contemplation and went to where the Blessed One was. Having arrived, he bowed his head to the Blessed One's feet and sat down on one side. Having sat down on one side, the Blessed One spoke thus to the Venerable Mahakashyapa: "Kashyapa, now you are old and advanced in years. My lower garments, Shana robes, dusters, etc., are heavy. Kashyapa, go to the monastery of the Sangha and accept the invitations of the people. Cut the householder's clothes into bad colors and sew them together." At that time, there was a householder living in Shravasti who had long had this wish: "Alas, if I could invite the Venerable Mahakashyapa, who is worshiped by gods and humans, to my house and offer him alms, how wonderful that would be!" The householder heard that the Blessed One had entrusted the Venerable Mahakashyapa to the Sangha. Having heard this, he went to where the Venerable Mahakashyapa was. Having arrived, he bowed his head to his feet and said: "Venerable Mahakashyapa, would you please come to my house tomorrow with your attendant to receive alms?" The Venerable Mahakashyapa did not say anything to the householder and accepted. Then, the householder returned to his own house and had his wife prepare many foods and drinks. The next morning, he got up early, spread seats in the middle courtyard, and sent someone to invite the Venerable Mahakashyapa. The Blessed One said: "Whoever is invited should go early." Then, the Venerable Mahakashyapa, early the next morning, put on his lower garment, took his bowl and Dharma robes, and went to the householder's house. Having arrived, he ascended to the middle courtyard and sat on the prepared seat. Then, the householder bowed his head to the feet of the Venerable Mahakashyapa and sat down on one side. Having sat down on one side, the Venerable Mahakashyapa correctly instructed the householder with Dharma-related words.
