The Long Āgama Sūtra 3.46

3.46

「時，大典尊還詣七王白言：『大王！唯願垂神善理國事，今我意欲出家離世，法服修道。所以者何？我親於梵童子聞說臭穢，心甚惡之。若在家者，無由得除。』彼時，七王即自念言：『凡婆羅門多貪財寶，我今寧可大開庫藏，恣其所須，使不出家。』時，七國王即命典尊，而告之曰：『設有所須，吾盡相與，不足出家。』時，大典尊尋白王曰：『我今以為蒙王賜已，我亦大有財寶，今者盡留以上大王，願聽出家，遂我志願。』

“‘Great Govinda returned to the seven kings and told each of them, “Great king, please do me the favor of well managing the kingdom’s affairs. Now, I plan to leave home, renounce the world, put on Dharma clothes, and cultivate the path. Why is that? I met with Brahmā Kumāra and listened to his explanation of pollution. My heart dislikes it very much. If I remain at home, there’ll be no way to be rid of it.’

“‘Those seven kings then each thought to themselves, “All the priests are greedy for treasure. I’d better open wide the treasury and let him take what he needs so he won’t leave home like this.” The seven kings then summoned Govinda and told him, “Supposing we had what you need, we would give whatever would be sufficient for you not to leave home.”

“‘Great Govinda immediately replied, “Now, whatever the king might award to me, I have great wealth of my own. Today, I would leave behind the great king’s offer above. Please permit me to leave home and pursue my aspiration.”
