At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery. At that time newly-arrived monks entered the monastery wearing sandals, holding sunshades, with their heads covered, with their robes on their heads; and they washed their feet with drinking water, did not bow down to the resident monks who were senior to them, and did not ask about dwellings. A certain newly-arrived monk lifted the latch of an unoccupied dwelling, opened the door, and entered hastily. A snake fell from above the door frame onto his shoulders. Terrified, he screamed. The monks came running and asked him why he was screaming. And he told them what had happened.
