Sāvatthinidānaṃ.
Atha kho bhikkhako brāhmaṇo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami;
upasaṅkamitvā bhagavatā saddhiṃ sammodi.
Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi.
Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho bhikkhako brāhmaṇo bhagavantaṃ etadavoca -
‘‘ahampi kho, bho gotama, bhikkhako, bhavampi bhikkhako, idha no kiṃ nānākaraṇa’’nti?
‘‘Na tena bhikkhako hoti, yāvatā bhikkhate pare;
Vissaṃ dhammaṃ samādāya, bhikkhu hoti na tāvatā.
‘‘Yodha puññañca pāpañca, bāhitvā brahmacariyaṃ;
Saṅkhāya loke carati, sa ve bhikkhūti vuccatī’’ti.
Evaṃ vutte, bhikkhako brāhmaṇo bhagavantaṃ etadavoca - ‘‘abhikkantaṃ, bho gotama, abhikkantaṃ, bho gotama...pe... upāsakaṃ maṃ bhavaṃ gotamo dhāretu ajjatagge pāṇupetaṃ saraṇaṃ gata’’nti.
