22.7

時,瞻婆城內諸婆羅門、長者、居士聞沙門瞿曇釋種子出家成道,從鴦伽國遊行人間,至瞻婆城伽伽池側,有大名稱,流聞天下,如來、至真、等正覺,十號具足,於諸天、世人、魔、若魔、天、沙門、婆羅門中,自身作證,為他說法,上中下言,皆悉真正,義味具足,梵行清淨。「如此真人應往覲現,今我寧可往與相見。」作此言已,即共相率,出瞻婆城,隊隊相隨,欲往詣佛。

The priests, prominent people, and householders in Campā heard: “The ascetic Gautama of the Śākya clan, who had left the home life [113a] and achieved awakening, is touring among the people of Aṅga and has arrived by the side of Gargā Pond. He possesses a great reputation that’s heard throughout the world. He’s a Tathāgata, an Arhat, and a Completely Awakened One who has perfected the ten epithets. Among gods, worldly men, and demons, whether they’re in the assemblies of Māra, gods, ascetics, or priests, he is self-realized and teaches the Dharma for others. His words are all genuine in the beginning, middle, and end, complete in content and expression, and purify the religious life.”

Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras)

They said, “It would be fitting to go and have an audience with such a realized man as this. We should go and pay him a visit now!” After they said that, they followed each other as they left the city. Crowds of people headed out to visit the Buddha.
