Ekottaragama (Sanskrit fragments) 13.3.17

13.3.17

王波斯匿告曰：「猶如師教弟子：『為是、捨是。』弟子報言：『如是，大師！』汝今摩利亦復如是，彼瞿曇沙門雖作是說，汝應作是言：『如是不異，無有虛妄。』然卿速去，不須在吾前立。」

King Prasenajit told her, “The teacher instructs his disciple, ‘Do this, abandon that.’ The disciple replies, ‘Yes, great teacher!’ You’re like that, Mālikā. Although the ascetic Gautama said that, your response is to say, ‘Yes, it’s not otherwise. There’s nothing false about it.’ You can go now. I have no need of you in my presence.”
