The Discourse on Matted Hair
192.
At Sāvatthī.
Then the brahmin Jaṭā Bhāradvāja approached the Blessed One;
having approached, he exchanged friendly greetings with the Blessed One.
Having concluded the pleasant and memorable talk, he sat down to one side.
Seated to one side, the brahmin Jaṭā Bhāradvāja addressed the Blessed One in verse -
This I ask you, Gotama, who can disentangle this tangle?"
An ardent and prudent monk, he can disentangle this tangle.
Those who have eliminated the mental corruptions, the Worthy Ones, for them the tangle is disentangled.
Impingement and perception of material form, here this tangle is cut off."
When this was said, Jaṭā Bhāradvāja said this to the Blessed One - "Excellent, Master Gotama! Etc. And the Venerable Bhāradvāja became one of the Worthy Ones."
