The Story of Mahadhana,
a Merchant
While residing at the Jetavana Monastery, the Buddha
spoke this verse with reference to Mahadhana, a
merchant from Varanasi.
Once, a merchant from Varanasi came to a festival
in Savathi with many carts fully loaded with textiles
and other merchandise. When he reached a river
bank near Savathi the river was in spate; so he
could not cross the river. He was held up for seven
days as it was raining hard and the water did not
subside. By that time, he was already late for the festival,
and there was no need for him to cross the river.
Since he had come from a long distance he did not
want to return home with his full load of merchandise;
So he decided to spend the rainy season, the cold season
and the hot season in that place and said so to his assistants.
The Buddha while going on an alms-round knew the
decision of the merchant and he smiled. Ananda
asked the Buddha why he smiled and the Buddha
replied, "Ananda, do you see that merchant?
