“… My couch spread with woolen covers—shag-piled or embroidered with flowers—and spread with a fine deer hide, with a canopy above and red pillows at both ends is agreeable. But, sir, I know that this is not proper for the Buddha. However, this plank of sandalwood is worth over a thousand dollars. May the Buddha please accept it from me out of sympathy.” So the Buddha accepted it out of sympathy.

And then the Buddha rejoiced with Ugga with these verses of appreciation:

“The giver of the agreeable gets the agreeable,

enthusiastically giving clothing, bedding,

food and drink, and various requisites

to those of sincere conduct.

Knowing the perfected ones to be like a field

for what’s given, offered and not held back,

a true person gives what’s hard to give:

the giver of the agreeable gets the agreeable.”

And then the Buddha, having rejoiced with Ugga with these verses of appreciation, rose from his seat and left.

Then after some time Ugga passed away, and was reborn in a host of mind-made gods. At that time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery.
