1.19

「毘婆尸如來,尸棄、毘舍婆,
此三等正覺,出拘利若姓。
自餘三如來,出于迦葉姓。
我今無上尊,導御諸眾生;
天人中第一,勇猛姓瞿曇。
前三等正覺,出於剎利種;
其後三如來,出婆羅門種;
我今無上尊,勇猛出剎利。

“The Tathāgatas Vipaśyin,
Śikhin, and Viśvabhū:
These Completely Awakened Ones
Arose from the Kauṇḍinya clan.
The next three Tathāgatas after that
Arose from the Kāśyapa clan.

Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras)

Now, I am the unsurpassed sage,
The trainer of sentient beings,
And supreme among gods and humans
Who’s from the courageous Gautama clan.

Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras)

The first three Completely Awakened Ones
Arose from warrior clans,
And the next three Tathāgatas
Arose from priestly clans.
Now, I’m the unsurpassed sage
Who courageously arose from warriors.

Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras)
