Ekottaragama (Sanskrit fragments) 24.5.21

24.5.21

世尊告曰：「如來、等正覺已得甘露，汝等悉共專心，聽吾說法。」是時，世尊便復作是念：「我今堪任降此五人。」

The Bhagavān told them, “The Tathāgata, the Completely and Correctly Awakened One, has attained immortality. You should focus your minds and listen to my teaching.” The Bhagavān then thought, “I can train these five men now.”
