ข้อความต้นฉบับในหน้า
He gave 84,000 milk cows with tethers of fine jute and copper milk pails. He gave 84,000 maidens adorned with jeweled earrings. He gave 84,000 couches spread with long - fleeced coverlets, white wool coverlets, embroidered coverlets, rugs of kadali - deer hide, each with a canopy above & red cushions on either side. He gave 84,000 lengths of cloth - of finest linen, of finest cotton, of finest silk.48
To say nothing of the food & drink, staple & non - staple food, lotions & beddings: They flowed, as it were, like rivers.
48 This translation follows the Thai edition of the Pali Canon. The Burmese and Sri Lankan editions list four kinds of cloth - rather than just the three listed here - adding wool as the third of the four.
