Dear Yong Peng,

Thank you for picking up the next sentence. One
comment on your translation: I think the 'pi.n.daaya'
should be placed more with the latter verb 'paavisi',
rather than the earlier 'nivaasetvaa'. That is, how
about:
"And now, in the morning, the Blessed One dressed and
then entered Savatthi with his robe and bowl for
alms."

Respectfully,
John
