The Buddha then continued wandering toward Rājagaha. When he eventually arrived, he stayed in the Bamboo Grove, the squirrel sanctuary. At that time there was an abundance of sugar in Rājagaha. The monks thought, “The Buddha has only allowed sugar for the sick,” and being afraid of wrongdoing, they did not eat it. “I allow you to take sugar when you’re sick and sugar mixed in water when you’re not.” 14.

When he eventually arrived, he stayed there.
