23.5

時,佉㝹婆提村諸婆羅門、長者、居士聞沙門瞿曇釋種子出家成道,從俱薩羅國人間遊行,至佉㝹婆提村北尸舍林止,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,今我等寧可往共相見。」作此語已,即便相率,出佉㝹婆提村,隊隊相隨,欲詣佛所。

The priests, prominent men, and householders of [Khānumata] heard: “The ascetic Gautama of the Śākyans who left home and achieved awakening has been touring among the people of Kośala. He arrived north of [Khānumata] and stopped to stay in the rosewood grove there. His great fame is heard throughout the world: ‘He’s a Tathāgata, Arhat, and Completely Awakened One who has perfected the ten epithets!’ Among gods and worldly people, be they Māras, Brahmās, ascetics, or priests, he teaches for others what he himself has realized. His words are all genuine in the beginning, middle, and end, complete in content and expression, and purify the religious life. It’s fitting to have an audience with such a realized person.”

They then said, “We’d better go and pay him a visit now!” After they said that, they followed each other as they left [Khānumata]. Crowds of people headed out to visit the Buddha.
