Now on that occasion a pair of Sivi [note] robes accrued to King Pajjota, the supreme, best, foremost, most excellent and special of many robes, many pairs of robes, many hundreds of pairs of robes, many thousands of pairs of robes, many hundreds of thousands of pairs of robes.

Then King Pajjota sent the pair of Sivi robes to Jīvaka Komārabhacca.

Then the thought occurred to him, “I have this pair of Sivi robes, sent by King Pajjota — the supreme, best, foremost, most excellent and special of many robes, many pairs of robes, many hundreds of pairs of robes, many thousands of pairs of robes, many hundreds of thousands of pairs of robes.

There is no one worthy of using it aside from the Blessed One, Worthy and Rightly Self-awakened, or King Seniya Bimbisāra of Magadha.
