Kasibharadv~'s distribution of food took place. Then Bhagavat went to the place where the distribution of food took place, and having gone there, he stood apart. The Brahmana Kasibharadvaga saw Bhagavat standing there to get alms, and having seen him, he said this to Bhagavat:

Then the Brc1hmana Kasibhc1radvc1ga, having poured rice-milk into a golden bowl, offered it to Bhagavat, saying, 'Let the venerable Bhagavat eat of the rice-milk; the venerable is a ploughman, for the venerable Gotama ploughs a ploughing that bears the fruit of immortality.'
