Ekottaragama (Sanskrit fragments) 24.5.128

24.5.128

是時，迦葉將五百弟子，前後圍繞，至世尊所，頭面禮足，在一面立，白世尊曰：「唯願世尊聽我等得作沙門！修清淨行。」

Kāśyapa then led his 500 disciples who surrounded him in front and behind, and they went to the Bhagavān. They bowed their heads at his feet and withdrew to stand to one side. He then said to the Bhagavān, “Please, Bhagavān, permit us to become ascetics and cultivate the pure practice.”
