8.11

爾時,世尊在閑靜室,以天耳聞梵志居士有如是論,即出七葉樹窟,詣烏暫婆利梵志女林。時,彼梵志遙見佛來,勅諸弟子:「汝等皆默,瞿曇沙門欲來至此,汝等慎勿起迎、恭敬禮拜,亦勿請坐,取一別座,與之令坐;彼既坐已,卿等當問:『沙門瞿曇!汝從本來,以何法教訓於弟子,得安隱定,淨修梵行?』」

At that moment, the Bhagavān was in a quiet room and overheard the conversation between that wanderer and householder with his heavenly ear. He emerged from the Saptaparṇa Cave and went to Udumbarikā’s Grove. When that wanderer saw the Buddha coming from a distance, he ordered his disciples: “All of you, be quiet! The ascetic Gautama is coming here! Please don’t rise, greet him, or respectfully worship him. Don’t ask him to sit, either. Choose a particular seat and set it aside for him. Once he sits down, you should ask, ‘Ascetic Gautama, up until now, what teaching do you give your disciples so that they attain peaceful samādhi and purely cultivate the religious life?”
