Sāvatthinidānaṃ.
Tena kho pana samayena paccanīkasāto nāma brāhmaṇo sāvatthiyaṃ paṭivasati.
Atha kho paccanīkasātassa brāhmaṇassa etadahosi -
‘‘yaṃnūnāhaṃ yena samaṇo gotamo tenupasaṅkameyyaṃ.
Yaṃ yadeva samaṇo gotamo bhāsissati taṃ tadevassāhaṃ paccanīkāssa’’nti.
Tena kho pana samayena bhagavā abbhokāse caṅkamati.
Atha kho paccanīkasāto brāhmaṇo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami;
upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ caṅkamantaṃ etadavoca -
‘bhaṇa samaṇadhamma’nti.
‘‘Na paccanīkasātena, suvijānaṃ subhāsitaṃ;
Upakkiliṭṭhacittena, sārambhabahulena ca.
‘‘Yo ca vineyya sārambhaṃ, appasādañca cetaso;
Āghātaṃ paṭinissajja, sa ve jaññā subhāsita’’nti.
Evaṃ vutte, paccanīkasāto brāhmaṇo bhagavantaṃ etadavoca - ‘‘abhikkantaṃ, bho gotama, abhikkantaṃ, bho gotama...pe... upāsakaṃ maṃ bhavaṃ gotamo dhāretu ajjatagge pāṇupetaṃ saraṇaṃ gata’’nti.
