22.9

侍者白言:「我聞沙門瞿曇釋種子出家成道,於鴦伽國遊行人間,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,為他人說,上中下言,皆悉真正,義味具足,梵行清淨;此瞻婆城諸婆羅門、長者、居士眾聚相隨,欲往問訊瞿曇沙門耳。」

His attendant said, “I heard this: ‘The ascetic Gautama of the Śākya clan, who had left the home life 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.’ Those crowds of priests, prominent people, and householders of Campā are going to pay a visit to the ascetic Gautama.”
