THE FUTURE BUDDHA RECEVING THE MILK-PORRIDGE OFFERED BY SUJATA

There lived in the village of Senani near Uruvela forest, a girl named Sujata. She had uttered a prayer for fulfillment of her wish at a banyan tree, and owed a yearly offering to it, the most she should have a good marriage and a son as her first born child. The wish having been fulfilled, she use to make an offering every year at the banyan tree. Now the Great Being had resumed taking usual food, because he found that the austerities he practiced for full six years were not the way to enlightenment.

On the full moon day of the month Visakha (April-May) the Future Buddha who had attained 35 years of age, was sitting under the banyan tree. Sujata caught sight of the Future Buddha and supposing him to be the tree-god, her benefactor, who had come down, offered him milk-porridge in a golden bowl that was worth a hundred thousand pieces of money. He proceeded to the banks of the Neranjara and ate the food. He took the bowl to the river bank and set it on the river saying " The most today I shall be able to became a Buddha, let this bowl go up- stream". It floated up-streamed.
