85. Skt1 reads idam avocad bhagavān āttamanāḥ. te ca bhikṣavo bhagavato bhāṣitam abhyanandann iti: “The delighted Bhagavān had thus spoken, and the monks rejoiced in what the Bhagavān had taught.” Skt2 reads idam avocad bhagavān āttamanā nandikopāsakaḥ pañcaśataparivāras te ca bhikṣavo bhagavato bhāṣitam abhyanandann iti: “The Bhagavān had thus spoken, and the delighted layman Nandika with his retinue of five hundred and the monks rejoiced in what the Bhagavān had taught.” In Skt2 the adjective āttamanās (delighted) could apply to the Bhagavān or to Nandika, but Nandika has already left the Buddha’s presence.
