The Discourse on Sanaṅkumāra
182.
Thus have I heard -
On one occasion the Blessed One was dwelling at Rājagaha on the bank of the Sappinī river.
Then Brahmā Sanaṅkumāra, when the night was far advanced, with surpassing beauty, having illuminated almost the entire bank of the Sappinī river, approached the Blessed One;
having approached, he paid respect to the Blessed One and stood to one side.
Standing to one side, Brahmā Sanaṅkumāra spoke this verse in the presence of the Blessed One:
One accomplished in true knowledge and conduct, he is foremost among gods and humans."
This Brahmā Sanaṅkumāra said. The Teacher approved. Then Brahmā Sanaṅkumāra, thinking "The Teacher approves of me," having paid respect to the Blessed One and circumambulated him keeping him on his right, disappeared right there.
