The Long Āgama Sūtra 23.25

23.25

時，婆羅門即嚴駕寶車，與五百婆羅門及佉㝹婆提諸婆羅門長者、居士，前後圍遶，詣尸舍婆林，到已下車，步進至世尊所，問訊已，一面坐。時，諸婆羅門、長者，居士，或有禮佛而坐者，或問訊而坐者，或有稱名而坐者，或有叉手向佛而坐者，或有默然而坐者。眾坐已定，究羅檀頭白佛言：「欲有所問，若有閑暇得見聽者，乃敢請問。」

Kūṭatāṇḍya then prepared horses and a treasure chariot, and he went to the rosewood grove while surrounded by those five hundred priests as well as the priests, prominent people, and householders of [Khānumata]. When he arrived, he dismounted from his chariot and proceeded on foot to the Bhagavān. After they had exchanged greetings, he sat to one side.

Some of the priests, prominent people, and householders bowed to the Buddha and sat down. Some of them exchanged greetings with him and sat down. Some of them told him their name and sat down. Some of them saluted the Buddha with their palms together and sat down. Some of them remained quiet and sat down. Once the assembly was seated and settled, Kūṭatāṇḍya said to the Buddha, “I have a question I’d like to ask if you have a moment and would permit me.”
