Chapter 38
38.
1. And when the Blessed One had tarried at Âtumâ as long as he thought fit, he went on his
journey towards Sâvatthi. And in due course, journeying straight on, he arrived at Sâvatthi, and there, at Sâvatthi, the Blessed One stayed in the Ârama of Anâtha-pindika.
Now at that time there was in Sâvatthi great abundance of solid food in the shape of fruits. And the question arose among the Bhikkhus, 'Has, now, the Blessed One permitted the use of fruits as solid food, or has he not?'
They told this thing to the Blessed One.
'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, all solid food in the shape of fruits.'
