Śroṇatāṇḍya then told the priests, “So it is, so it is! As you’ve said, I’m endowed with these virtues; there are none I don’t possess. Now, listen to what I say: These virtues are possessed by the ascetic Gautama, so we should go there to him; he shouldn’t come here to us. The ascetic Gautama is descended from fathers and mothers who were genuine for seven generations, so he’s not slighted by other people. He has achieved such status, so we should go there to him; he shouldn’t come here to us.
