1.9

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「善哉!善哉!汝等以平等信,出家修道,諸所應行,凡有二業:一曰賢聖講法,二曰賢聖默然。汝等所論,正應如是。如來神通,威力弘大,盡知過去無數劫事,以能善解法性故知,亦以諸天來語故知。」佛時頌曰:

The Bhagavān told the monks, “Good, good! With correct faith, you’ve left home to cultivate the path, and you practice as you should. All of you have two types of conduct: The first is noble discussion of the teaching, and the second is noble silence. This discussion of yours is as it should be: ‘The Tathāgata’s miraculous powers [are far-reaching,] and his authority are tremendous. He fully knows the events of countless eons in the past. He knows it because he understands well the nature of things and because the gods come and tell him.’”
