[Upasakadasangasutra]
**162**
He was endowed with wealth. Therefore, it was auspicious for me to invite the Venerable Lord Mahavira by offering prostrations and salutations, and to provide him with a suitable seat, a platform (bed and bedding). Thinking thus, he got up, offered prostrations and salutations to the Venerable Lord Mahavira, and said, "O Bhagavan! Outside the city of Polasapur, I have five hundred potter's workshops. Please grace them with your presence by accepting a suitable seat, a platform (bed), and bedding."
**194**
The Venerable Lord Mahavira, having heard the request of the lay follower, Sakdalaputra, accepted it and stayed in his five hundred potter's workshops, accepting a pure, suitable seat, a platform (bed), and bedding.
**195**
One day, the lay follower, Sakdalaputra, brought out earthenware vessels from inside the workshop, which were drying in the wind, and placed them in the sun.
**196**
The Venerable Lord Mahavira asked the lay follower, Sakdalaputra, "Sakdalaputra! How are these earthenware vessels made?"
**197**
The lay follower, Sakdalaputra, replied to the Venerable Lord Mahavira, "O Bhagavan! First, the clay is mixed with water, then it is mixed with ash and cow dung. After mixing, it is placed on the potter's wheel, and then many pots (bowls, plates, or jars, half-pots, pitchers, large pots, water-pots), and wells are made."
