Back in Savatthi, Anathapindika went around looking for a suitable place for the Buddha to stay. He spotted a 37 grove belonging to Prince Jeta, which seemed ideal for a monastery. However, Prince Jeta was reluctant to sell the grove even for the high price of a hundred thousand pieces of gold. When Anathapindika persisted in asking the price of the grove, the prince decided to discourage him. He imposed a condition of sale which he thought Anathapindika would find impossible to satisfy. Prince Jeta declared that he would sell the grove for the amount of gold pieces needed to cover every inch of it.
