Old jacarandas fate in balance." A few days after the death of the Buddha, he went to the home of the monk Sakha and gave the following advice, telling him to return to the monastery with his four robes: "I am the Buddha; therefore it is necessary that I return with my four robes and not wear any robe; with them I shall meditate on the causes of all suffering." Thus he advised Sakha.
In that lifetime he had become the disciple of King Ananda of Nagasaki. He said, "No doubt that Ananda could have lived a long, prosperous life, but this lifetime he has gone to the world to die. He was no longer the abbot of a monastery, but a layman; therefore why did he go to the world to die?" King Ananda answered, "How do you say this? One day Ananda was a monk in the monastery.

So one should say to him: 'Sit at home with your four robes, for this time there is nothing to fear. Sit by yourself in the presence of many others and you will be protected from suffering. Do not leave your home. Be careful of your life.' "
Thus he advised the four ascetics; when the Buddha taught them to go out to the world they also went forth with their four robes, and remained at home with their four robes.
Ananda received these advice and went to the world, but he remained for so long without coming out to live that he came to be known as Nagehara. He sat alone in his monastery as a result of the advice of King Ananda, and was eventually cured of the disease. But it is reported that there was the king of the country who had taken away the monk Ananda and he had gone forth in the monk robes to the country, where he had taken away the monks who had stayed in their homes.
