The tree-spirit, it appears, was once a poor man who sought and obtained work for hire from Anāthapiṇḍika and through him made a living.

Athekasmiṃ uposathadivase sampatte anāthapiṇḍiko vihārato āgantvā pucchi – "tassa bhatikassa ajjuposathadivasabhāvo kenaci kathito"ti?

Now one fast-day Anāthapiṇḍika asked on his return from the monastery, “Has anyone told this laborer that to-day is fast-day?”
|
|
|
"Na kathito, sāmī"ti.
|
“He has not been told, master.”
|
|
|
"Tena hissa sāyamāsaṃ pacathā"ti.
|
“Well then, cook him his supper.”

|
|
Athassa patthodanaṃ paciṃsu.

So they cooked him a measure of rice.

So divasaṃ araññe kammaṃ katvā sāyaṃ āgantvā bhatte vaḍḍhetvā dinne "chātomhī"ti sahasā abhuñjitvāva "aññesu divasesu imasmiṃ gehe 'bhattaṃ detha, sūpaṃ detha, byañjanaṃ dethā'ti mahākolāhalaṃ ahosi, ajja te sabbe nissaddā nipajjiṃsu, mayhameva ekassāhāraṃ vaḍḍhayiṃsu, kiṃ nu kho eta"nti cintetvā pucchi – "avasesā bhuñjiṃsu, na bhuñjiṃsū"ti?

Now the laborer had worked all day in the forest, and when he returned in the evening, he said, “I am hungry.” But when the rice had been prepared and given to him, all of a sudden he refused to eat. “On other days,” he thought to himself, “there is a great uproar in this house, ‘Give me rice, give me sauce, give me curry;’ but to-day all have lain down without making a sound, and they have prepared food for me alone. What can this mean?” So he asked them, “Have the rest eaten?”
|
|
|
"Na bhuñjiṃsu, tātā"ti.
|
“They have not eaten.”
|
|
|
"Kiṃ kāraṇā"ti?
|
“Why?”
|
|
|
Imasmiṃ gehe uposathadivasesu sāyamāsaṃ na bhuñjanti, sabbeva uposathikā honti.
|
“In this house people eat no supper on fast-days; all keep the fast.
|

Tuyhaṃ pana uposathadivasabhāvaṃ kathetuṃ satiṃ na karimhā.
|
But we did not think it worth while to tell you it was fast-day,
|
|
|
Tasmā taveva bhattaṃ pakkaṃ, naṃ bhuñjassūti.
|
and therefore rice was cooked for you alone. Eat it.”
|
|
|
Sace idāni uposathikena bhavituṃ vaṭṭati, ahampi bhaveyyanti.
|
“If it is proper for me to begin the fast now, I should like to do so.”
|
|
|
"Idaṃ seṭṭhi jānātī"ti.
|
|
|
|
"Tena hi naṃ pucchathā"ti.
|
“Well then, ask him.”
|
|
|
Te gantvā seṭṭhiṃ pucchiṃsu.
|
But we did not think it worth while to tell you it was fast-day,
|
|
|
So evamāha – "idāni pana abhuñjitvā mukhaṃ vikkhāletvā uposathaṅgāni adhiṭṭhahanto upaḍḍhaṃ uposathakammaṃ labhissatī"ti.
|
nd he replied as follows, “If he begins the fast now and rinses his mouth and takes upon himself the fast-day precepts, he will earn half the merit of keeping fast-day.”
|
|
|
Itaro taṃ sutvā tathā akāsi.
|
When the laborer heard the answer, he began the fast.
