He came to the house of a goldsmith. The goldsmith was well known in the city of Rajgriha for his art work. Even King Shrenik admired his skill. When Metarya came to the house, the goldsmith was making barley shaped grains of gold for jewelry. When he saw the monk at his door, he felt very happy and fortunate.
He put his work aside, bowed down to the monk, and welcomed him for alms.
